Crafty Cinema - The Craft 🔮🍿

FAQs

• Who can come? 🩷

  PLEASE NOTE: The Craft is rated MA15+. Anyone under the age of 15 must legally be accompanied by their parent or guardian.

  • Everyone of all skill levels! Whether you're a seasoned crafter or a beginner, or if you just love going to the movies, this is for you.

  • Bring a friend, or come alone; We are a welcoming and inclusive community. From 6:15pm, we have exclusive access to the Champagne Bar for catching up or making new friends!

  • Our events are open to all ages, though we recommend checking the film's rating before bringing younger attendees. Some screenings may be more suitable for adults or teens depending on the film we're showing.

• What kind of crafts can I bring? 🧶

  • All kinds of crafts are welcome as long as they aren't messy (i.e. no paint, glitter, liquid glue, water, etc.) or too loud (i.e. no portable sewing machines).

  • Please clean up after the film and ensure no craft mess is left behind! If mess is left, I will need to pay a cleaning fee.

  • Your crafts must fit within your booked seat.

  • Some ideas: Crocheting, knitting, journaling, scrapbooking, jewellery making, colouring in, doodling, drawing (digital or physical).

  • Each seat in the venue has a small table connected to the armrest. If you need a larger surface to craft on, you may want to bring along a clipboard or portable lap desk.

  • If you think you may need extra lighting, bring along a neck light.

• What's the lighting like? 💡

  The theatre lights will be dim for the duration of the film, similar to the lighting when the ads are on in a regular cinema screening. The lighting level varies across the theatre, so arrive early to select a seat with optimal lighting! We recommend you BYO portable lamp or neck light if you are worried about the lighting level.

• Are seats allocated? 💺

  • Seats are not allocated. Please arrive with enough time to choose where you want to sit.

• How do you determine the door prize winner? 🏆

  Unless otherwise specified (e.g. special events, best dressed competitions, raffles), the door prize winner is completely random! This will be announced before the film starts.

• Can I talk during the movie? 💬

  We ask that you keep chat to a minimum during the film out of respect for other crafters. Quiet comments are fine (we're all human!), but please save longer conversations for before the screening or after the film ends.

  If you'd like to socialise, come along to the optional pre-screening meetup in the foyer at 6:15 pm!

  Snacks and drinks are available to purchase at the candy bar.
