Our Story

Amidst the hustle and bustle of Chester Northgate, wander your way into Chester Picturehouse: a treat of a cinema boasting six screens and a café-bar, not to mention a stunning mural created exclusively for us by artist Murugiah that'll greet you when you arrive. The cinema's dazzling interior design, in enviable shades of pink and blue, gently nods to the perfectly pastel-hued worlds of one of our favourite filmmakers, Wes Anderson – and we've paid just as much careful attention to our Chester home as he does to all his films.

Escape into the very best cinema old and new in our comfortable seats, grab a barista-made coffee or a slice of fresh pizza to enjoy in our cosy spaces, and bring the whole family along with offers and Memberships to make the trip sweeter for cinema-goers of all kinds.
