€4 tickets in Meath cinemas this weekend

Cinema audiences across Meath will be able to enjoy the big-screen experience for less this weekend, as part of National Cinema Weekend which runs this Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th September.

Participating cinemas, including Arc Cinema in Navan and Vue Cinema in Ashbourne, will offer €4 admission prices throughout the weekend.

The initiative, which is proudly supported by Fís Éireann/Screen Ireland, will give Meath audiences the chance to enjoy multiple films at a reduced rate across two days.

Previous National Cinema Days were such a huge success in Ireland, with over 200,000 admissions across a single day that the film industry made the decision to extend the initiative this year to take in a full weekend, allowing audiences to see multiple films at a reduced rate across two days.

Approximately 99% of cinemas in the Republic of Ireland will participate in this initiative, offering a wide variety of new and recent releases for audiences to enjoy, including family favourites that all the family can enjoy as a treat as schools have just reopened.

Cinemas in every county in the Republic of Ireland are participating, meaning easy access for audiences to big screen entertainment in their home county across the weekend.

Cinemagoers across National Cinema Weekend will also be able to benefit from additional screenings catering to diverse audiences including sensory screenings along with additional subtitled and captioned screenings at various cinemas.

Alex Murphy and Chris Walley, stars of The Young Offenders (which will celebrate its ten year anniversary with a re-release of the film on National Cinema Weekend) said: "We think there’s nothing like the magic of going to the movies. The shared communal experience of enjoying films as they were meant to be seen – on the big screen with a captive audience, is one of our favourite things to do.

"We’re really looking forward to celebrating National Cinema Weekend this year by catching as many films as we can, and re-watching some of the great movies we've already enjoyed at the cinema this year."

Fís Éireann / Screen Ireland is the official supporter of National Cinema Weekend 2026. Désirée Finnegan, Chief Executive of Fís Éireann / Screen Ireland, commented:

"Screen Ireland is proud to support National Cinema Weekend, which is set to be a fantastic celebration of cinema, in recognition of Irish audiences and their continued support for Irish film on the big screen. With such a wide range of films available to choose from as part of the initiative, we hope audiences across the country can find new Irish stories to connect with this year."
