Film Classifications

Universal. It is impossible to predict what might upset any particular child. But a ‘U’ film should be suitable for audiences aged four years and over. ‘U’ films should be set within a positive moral framework and should offer reassuring counterbalances to any violence, threat or horror. 

Parental Guidance. General viewing, but some scenes may be unsuitable for some children. Unaccompanied children of any age may watch a ‘PG’ film. A 'PG' film should not disturb a child aged around eight or older. However, parents are advised to consider whether the content may upset younger or more sensitive children.

No-one younger than 12 may see a ‘12A’ film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult. Responsibility for allowing under-12s to view lies with the accompanying or supervising adult.

No-one younger than 15 may see a ‘15’ film in a cinema.

Please note: Anyone who appears to be under the legal age to view a '15' movie will be asked to prove their age before we allow admittance.
