FAQ

In the Netherlands, a cinema week runs from Thursday to Wednesday. Lumière programmes its films per week. The new weekly film programme can be found on our website every Monday afternoon. 

On Thursday, the day on which new films première, you can buy a regular ticket for €9,- instead of €12,50.

Drinks are permitted, but to ensure the best possible film experience for everyone, we do not allow food in the auditoriums.

The auditorium will open 15 minutes before the film starts.

Our tickets come with reserved seats. If you book your tickets online, you can choose your own seat.

To give you the best possible film experience, we generally do not have intermissions. We do hold a short break during long films.

We screen films in the original language and most have Dutch subtitles. Some films are in English or are not subtitled. We always indicate this if this is the case.

Unfortunately, you will not be granted access to the film if you're late as not to disturb the other guests. At the cash register, we can change your ticket for a film that starts in a later timeslot, or we can give you a voucher. We do not give refunds.

We advise to make a reservation on busy days (like Friday, Saturday and Sunday). You can make a reservation here.

Our menu includes several vegetarian dishes. If you have other dietary wishes, please call us so we can consult with the chef.

You can buy a Lumière Passie for €20 per year. This card gives you discounts on regular films. Want to know more about the Lumière Passie?
