The cheapest cinema in Birmingham
The Mockingbird Cinema is a “must visit” if you want to watch summer blockbusters at wallet/purse-friendly prices. The fully independent cinema is, of course, also the place to check out cult movies, retro classics, and the odd epic movie marathon here in Brum. A haven for movie buffs.
