Hyde Park Picture House

Is it right for my child?

• Hyde & Seek: regular screenings are aimed at ages 3 and over but are open to all ages. Under 8s must be with an adult aged 18 or over. Under 12s at a 12A film must be with an adult.
• Toddlers: the Hyde & Seek page says toddler-friendly screenings are every Friday at 11am, for one to four-year-olds. Films are certificate U, capacity is reduced, and noise and movement are expected.
• Toddler screening rule: adults are only admitted with a child aged up to 14.
• Babies: Bring Your Own Baby (BYOB) screenings are programmed for parents and carers, with a grown-up audience in mind. See Prices and tickets for the age rules.
• Content: each film page has Content Guidance and Strobe lighting notes. Either may say “guidance unavailable” if the cinema has not checked.
• Taking a break: the access page says you may step out to the Café Bar, The Nook or the seating outside. The Community Room is an option when not booked.
• Going back in: the access page welcomes you back when ready, but the terms say readmittance is at staff discretion where possible.

Plan your visit: a parent’s checklist

• Check the film page for the certificate, running time and content guidance.
• Book ahead. Both screens have reserved seating, though BYOB seating is unreserved. The cinema advises pre-booking to avoid sell-outs and queues.
• Need a free Pay What You Can ticket? Email info@hpph.co.uk or call 0113 275 2045 at least 48 hours before. The limit is five per customer, with none for walk-up customers.
• Saturdays: the Hyde & Seek page describes a drop-in, self-led activity from 10.30am before the 11am film. Check each film page for details.
• Leave nuts at home. The cinema is nut and shellfish free. Food containing them must go outside or will be confiscated.
• Ask at the box office for the free children’s activity sheets, including a scavenger hunt.

Pushchairs, babies and toilets

• Pushchairs: outside BYOB screenings there is no designated pram space, but room for a few. At BYOB, staff show you a pram space.

• Baby changing: in the accessible toilet in the ground-floor foyer, left of the lowered box office counter.
