Just sharing my experience of crazy pricing structure at Dulwich Picture House. I took my toddler Son to watch the Peppa Pig film there and was shocked that for the two of us it cost +?22. They have children priced at ?8.30 and adults at ?14.50! How on earth can they justify ?14.50 for an adult to accompany a child to watch Peppa Pig? This was the first time I'd taken him to a cinema and my first trip to DPH which was a lovely environment, but is this standard practice for children's film to charge so much? Is it cheaper to go to a standard multiplex?

Hi - how do you go about buying the ?2.50 Kids Club tickets for a Saturday morning?

When I look on the Picture House web site it's showing standard pricing for 10am on Saturday morning

It?s not all films! There?s a special film on most Saturdays- around 10.30c you need to find the one that?s says kids club alongside ur.

@El Presidente - you're missing the point of the original post. I paid the entry fee, I was at the cinema with my Son. I was enquiring if there were cheaper alternatives locally, as the fee for an adult to accompany a child for what is a toddlers film is excessive. Maybe unless you have constructive comments don't reply. It's not complicated.

It is worth noting that whilst Picture House prices can be high, for some showings, there are numbers of cheaper options - Mondays are close to half price, Thursdays cheap for pensioners and all prices are reduced for 'members' - including a number of free seats to use through your membership year at will. There are also special reduced price showings for e.g people with babies, children etc. Having a cinema again in Lordship Lane I take as a bonus, and, whilst Peckham Plex is definitely cheaper, it is not, in my experience as comfortable and clean. It is a choice for us (where before there was none). As with all things, caveat emptor, at least as regards checking comparative prices, is a reasonable watchword. I am lucky that I can normally choose, within reason, when to go to see films, and thus choose my (economic) moment.


I have no interest (other than being a 'founder' member of the ED Picture House).

If you use smart phone technology many of these cinema chains offer special BOGOF deals via meerkat insurance, two for ?7 at odeon for example as a reward offer, special Tuesday showings for half price. I?ve also noticed some of the VUE cinemas charge 3.99 all day every day, which is a bargain. You can easily find these bargains, but in a neighbourhood like ED where premium chains such as Picturehouse setup shop, they are obviously going to try and charge more for the basic tickets.

@penguin68 @minitonka I agree, as mentioned in my original post it was my first time at EDPH and I thought it was a really nice place - clean, friendly, with a good food choice which I didn't expect (I brought sandwiches for my lad but he'd have loved the mac&cheese) it was just the cost of an adult ticket for a kids show. I'm sure I'll return, we don't go the cinema much so it was a nice treat, and I'll also check out peckplex at some point too, love a cheap dive lol.

      Holland & Barrett is coming to Lordship Lane

      By jazzer · Posted

      Time will tell if H&B are loved or loathed, the footfall they get and generate will determine if they stay or go. That's the nature of businesses, they come and go dependant on usage. Examples are M&S, Poundland Local, Co-op, Superdrug, Mons, the chain restaurant/takeaways, the chain Estate Agents, Toolstation, Screwfix to name a few.  As much as people would like to see Lordship Lane remain a high street of independents, it is becoming clear that due to Landlords hiking rents, some are unable to survive. This leaves empty units which some of the chain brands considering it to be worth a "punt". I'd have thought that businesses operating in shops is a better alternative than a high street with multiple empty units, but what do I know, they are just thoughts on the subject.   Take a look at Croydon and Bromley where what were once thriving high streets are in decline.  I have to say that some of the prices charged by the independents are eye watering, and incomes i'd have thought have to be substantial to afford their prices. Personally I'd love a Lidl to open on what was the site of the Harvester, but I guess that would get shouted down, oh the thought of Lidl in Dulwich. Whatever next.

      I don’t know what the shop was originally next to the big St Christopher’s but if Holland and Barrett are taking it over then surely it’s good to have a choice on Lordship Lane? The Camberwell H&B is always empty but the Brixton branch busy.  I remember when the Marks & Spencer food shop was Iceland? Now the M&S is a very busy store and at the time regenerated the high street!

      Nor would I have done, but it came up when I googled John Lewis reviews. Do you not trust TrustPilot reviews? Even allowing for the fact that many people only post reviews when they have had poor service, 27% one star reviews is indicative of something wrong, I would say. That's 27% of 76,392 reviews. That's an awful lot of people who don't  think the service they got from John Lewis was even worth two stars, let alone more. Screenshot attached.
