WHERE IS CULTPLEX?
CULTPLEX is based at GRUB, on the first floor.
Our address is:
50 Red Bank,
Cheetham Hill,
Manchester
M4 4HF.
WHAT DOES CULTPLEX DO?
This little cinema does a lot. Primarily we are a cinema doing our best to give a screen to cult classics and genre masterpieces (rather than new releases) and through those screenings give a regular home for fans of those particular movies to come together. Screenings do go beyond that and you will find documentaries, singalongs, festivals, Q&As and the odd new-ish release. If it’s a great film and you folk want it then we’ll screen it!
DOES CULTPLEX DO ANYTHING MORE THAN SCREEN MOVIES?
Yep! As we’re well set up for events of all sorts you’ll also be able to enjoy comedy, spoken word, acoustic gigs, DJ performances, live podcast recordings and much more within our little cinema. Not only that but we have one of the best gaming setups in the UK which means we’ll be hosting game launches, tournaments, developer/industry events and loads more.
CAN I EAT GOOD FOOD & DRINK AT CULTPLEX?
Yep! We actually live inside GRUB so before your screening you’ll be able to grab some of the absolute best street food around, check out their social media feed to see who is cooking on the day you’re heading in. Sadly we don’t allow hot food to be consumed within the cinema BUT you can take in some delicious ice cream, freshly popped popcorn or a dessert from a street food trader to keep your energy levels up. We also have a fine selection of beers (22 taps of smashing craft beer!) alongside cocktails, hot drinks, wines, ciders, low alcohol options and locally produced soft drinks available to sup on throughout the performance. We have a zero tolerance policy on people bringing their own food and drink in so no sneaking in a 6 pack and a suitcase of Deliveroo, you will be hoofed.
HEY! CAN I TELL YOU WHAT FILM I WANT TO SEE?
Of course! Our programming team run our screenings on the day so let us know what you’d like to see when you are here. However if you’d prefer to let us know online, just pop us a message on socials. If enough of you suggest a certain film, we’ll have a look at getting it on! If that isn’t enough for you, read the next bit!
CAN I PUT ON MY OWN SCREENING OR EVENT?
Yep! Please fill in this form and we’ll get in touch with you.
CAN I HIRE CULTPLEX?

HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN THE CINEMA SEAT?

CAN CHILDREN ATTEND SCREENINGS?
As standard all of our screenings are 18+ due to licensing issues. If a screening is family friendly it will be listed as such in the event description. If you are unsure about an event being open to children, please feel free to pop us an email, or message on socials.
IS THE CINEMA ACCESSIBLE?
Yes! We even have a dedicated accessibility page. If you have any further questions, feel free to pop us a message by heading here. .
WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE?
We’ll drop a full tech spec for the cinema here very soon but we can assure you it’s quite smashing. We use a Panasonic 5000 lumen 4K digital projector, a 5.1 Martin Audio speaker setup controlled by a Yamaha receiver and powered by Crown DSP enabled amplifiers, showing on a 3.5m screen. Our system is ran through a hi-spec gaming rig, and a state of the art Panasonic 4K blu-ray player.
DO YOU HAVE USHERS?
We do! Ushers will always be in the room to check your tickets, answer queries, and ensure that your experience is the best it can possibly be! If you have any questions or issues at the cinema, or issues with other cinema goers, please let them know. They'll be the person who checks your ticket, and introduces the screening.
