THE Clonakilty Park Cinema is one of a number of cinemas across Cork that will be offering €4 tickets for showings on September 2nd as part of National Cinema Day 2023.
The initiative is set to be a popular one, following last year's success which saw over 200,000 admissions on that single day, which made it the biggest cinema-going day of last year.
Tickets can be purchased through the websites of participating cinemas, and at the box office.
Tickets are likely to sell quickly, with a host of €4 tickets set to go on sale on The Clonakilty Park Cinema's website later today.
Some of the movies showing include Irish titles such as Ballywalter, starring Patrick Kielty, which will have special previews on the day, along with Tarrac which will also have special previews on September 2nd.
