For one day only, you can grab any cinema ticket for just £3.00.
It's no secret that the film industry has been irreparably impacted during the Covid-19 pandemic.
With cinemas closed on and off for the past two years, it's been difficult to get anyone to showings- and that's when there's plenty of blockbusters released.

The pandemic has delayed filming across the world, and even two years on, we're seeing the effects of this trickle down into what releases are available in the cinemas- or lack there of.
Many of us in recent years have turned to Netflix, or Disney Plus as a way to stream our videos from the comfort of our homes. Whilst PJs and a duvet are a welcome swap from having to head out and about to catch a movie when 'Stay at Home' orders were issued, it's certainly time we made a visit to the cinema and supported the film industry once more.
To remind us of the sweet scent of popcorn and the brain freeze we've (mostly) missed from a Tango Ice Blast, Cineworld cinemas are hosting a 'Cineworld Day' on Saturday 26 February, pricing all tickets at just £3 each.
Across the country, tickets at all Cineworld cinemas will cost just £3 each, regardless of which movie you attend. This is a huge saving given an adult's ticket would usually cost £9.99, £7.99 for students and £5.99 for kids- so it's at least half price depending on which category you fit into.
For us in Leeds, this means that White Rose shopping centre's Cineworld will have the best value seats in the city.
On the big screens, there will be a choice of new movies like Death on the Nile, comedy-classic Jackass Forever and showings of Spiderman: No Way Home, as well as a special 50th edition of The Godfather.
Kids movies will also be included, expect Clifford the Big Red Dog and Sing 2 on show throughout the day.

Leeds band Yard Act announce 2026 UK tour including homecoming gig
Yard Act are back as they announce first round of UK headline dates since 2024.
We are so, so back.
It's been a few years, but Yard Act have just announced a small selection of UK gigs for later in the year including a homecoming gig at the O2 Academy on Friday 6 November.
The dates follow the band’s first show of the year at the 6Music Festival this Friday across The Pennines in Manchester.
After Leeds, the lads will be performing shows at the O2 Victoria Warehouse on Friday 13 November before making their way down south to the O2 Academy in Brixton on Thursday 26 November.

Yard Act completed the touring for their critically acclaimed second album Where’s My Utopia? with a victory lap back home at the 5000 capacity Millennium Square in Leeds in August 2024.
It was a record that brought a stark change of pace to the acerbic, post-punk of their debut, embracing something altogether more playful and bringing a different energy. It shifted the dynamic on stage too, with the addition of dancing backing singers and additional musicians and openly challenged listeners to reconsider who they thought Yard Act were.
Since then, the band have remained active, whether writing Where’s My Utopia’s follow-up on scratching the itch to get back on stage, heading out across the UK and Europe with The Hives, which was preceded by an intimate one-off show at Blackpool Tower last May.
Following a lengthy stint in the studio, the band now look to the Autumn for three big UK dates and we cannot wait.
Tickets go on artist presale from 10am on Wednesday 25 March before hitting general sale at 10am on Friday 27 March. Sign up here.
Viral brunch cafe Acai and the Tribe is coming to Leeds city centre this spring
Clementine Hall
Leeds health nuts assemble, because acai bowls and superfood smoothies are coming to a city near you.
Incase you've been living under a rock for the past year or so, you may not be clued up on the whole acai bowl trend that has been sweeping up the nation.
Acai is a super berry grown and harvested in the Amazon rainforest, and not only is it absolutely delicious but it has a myriad of health benefits.
Acai and the Tribe first opened four years ago in Manchester, and ever since then it's only gone from strength to strength opening up three other locations across the country.

Next stop? Leeds. And we couldn't be happier about it.
So, what can we expect from this aesthetically-pleasing and ultra trendy female-owned business? Well, loaded acai bowls that look almost too good to eat, superfood smoothies, coffees, matcha and savoury options like avocado toast.
Announcing the very exciting news to Instagram, Acai and the Tribe said: "You asked, we listened. LEEDS… your new lifestyle arrives soon."
They will be opening on 88 Vicar Lane as part of the Vicar Lane regeneration scheme, which has already scene some great new restaurants being announced such as Sticks'n'Sushi and Dishoom.
It seems like this part of town is suddenly going to be the place to be, and we're very happy to see it.
We'll keep you updated with opening dates as and when we know more but for now, you can find out more about Acai and the Tribe here.
