Over in the Carmarthenshire valleys, Cross Hands Public Hall and Cinema is a wonderful community-run 1930s venue, and Brynamman Public Hall Cinema is a gorgeous 1920s gem originally built by the local mining community.

In Neath Port Talbot, Gwyn Hall in Neath offers a luxury cinema experience inside a beautifully refurbished Victorian theatre, while Reel Cinema in Port Talbot is a classic multi-screen option that regularly offers family discounts. Pontardawe Arts Centre is another great spot, combining theatre and cinema under one roof with 450 seats.

Head into Pembrokeshire and you’ll find Torch Theatre in Milford Haven, a professional theatre that also screens the latest films, with a bar and café overlooking the waterfront. Theatr Gwaun in Fishguard is a community-owned gem with a relaxed café bar and a varied programme of films, and Palace Cinema in Haverfordwest is a classic old-school cinema with an annual membership scheme that saves families money on every visit.

Further north in Ceredigion, Mwldan Theatre in Cardigan runs three modern digital screens with a great mix of mainstream and independent films. Commodore Cinema in Aberystwyth is one of the last remaining large independent single-screen cinemas in Wales, loved for its competitive pricing and nostalgic feel. And if you fancy something really special, Libanus 1877 in Borth is a boutique luxury cinema in a converted chapel, complete with a restaurant and bar.

The Best Cheap Family Cinema Deals in West Wales

ODEON: Family Tickets – Adults Pay Kids’ Prices

At ODEON, parents pay the same price as kids on selected weekend films, which means every ticket is just £1. It’s a brilliant deal if you’ve got a bigger family, because the savings really stack up compared to standard pricing.

Both ODEON Swansea (Quay Parade, Parc Tawe, SA1 2BA) and ODEON Llanelli (Island Place, SA15 3YF) run this offer on selected weekend showings. They’ve got a solid mix of family-friendly films on, so there’s usually something to keep everyone happy. Book directly at odeon.co.uk to make sure you’re getting the discounted family ticket rate.

Vue: Mighty Mornings – Weekend Films from £2.49

If your kids are early risers (ours certainly are!), Vue’s Mighty Mornings could be just what you need. Every weekend from 10am, Vue screens family films for just £2.49 per ticket when booked online.

Vue Swansea (York Street, SA1 3LZ) and Vue Carmarthen (St Catherine’s Walk, SA31 1GA) both run this deal every Saturday and Sunday. It’s perfect for younger kids as catching a film first thing means they’re not overtired (and far less likely to demand 50 trips to the loo mid-film!). During school holidays, Vue extends Mighty Mornings to run every morning of the break, not just weekends, so it’s a great option for half term too. And if you’ve got a little one under 2, they can come along for free as long as they sit on your lap. Book online at myvue.com to get the Mighty Mornings price.

Reel Cinema: Movie Madness – Tickets £3.99 Before 1pm

For families who can’t quite make the early morning start, Reel Cinema in Port Talbot (Princess Margaret Way, Hollywood Park, SA12 6QW) has a great alternative. Every Saturday and Sunday, all tickets for any showing before 1pm are just £3.99 per person. It’s still a really good deal compared to full-price tickets, and Hollywood Park has plenty of other things nearby if you want to make a morning of it.
