Frequently asked questions

We'll do our best to answer any FAQs here, but if you have a specific question please contact your cinema or email action@merlincinemas.co.uk

What do you class a child?
14 years and below are classed as children. 

Do I get a discount as an adult watching a children's film?
No, sorry – this scheme applies to children only, not accompanying adults.

I'm renewing my child's Movie Magic Card, will their annual charge be discounted?
No, sorry – discount card charges aren't covered by this scheme; it applies only to qualifying children's tickets and meals.

My child wants to buy pick and mix, will they get a discount?
No, sorry – pick and mix is an example of an item that doesn't qualify for any VAT reduction. 

We have a party booking, will we get a discount?
The children's tickets and meals within your party booking will benefit from the discount; any other elements of the package (such as adult food or extras) will remain at the standard rate.
