Ticket Bundles

Want to binge the whole festival? These bundles are made for you. Just add tickets for different screenings to your cart and we’ll throw in more for free. It’s the perfect way to see every film, enjoy the full festival experience, and save while you do it!

Bundle is valid for one seat per screening and can be used across different festival screenings over the weekend, including Opening & Closing Nights. Add six, or ten, Festival tickets to your cart and the discount applies automatically at checkout. 

You can’t use the bundle to book extra seats for guests—it’s for one person attending multiple shows.

Does not include free events: The Enchanted Cinema; In Conversation with Amanda Thomson; Sea Change: Climate, Community & Creativity.

Free Community Tickets

We believe cinema should be for everyone. If cost is a barrier, free tickets are available—no questions asked. Just choose the option online, call us, or speak to the box office.

The Small Print

• Print or scan: Individual tickets can be printed at home, scanned from your phone, or collected at the box office, which opens 30 minutes before the first show daily.
• Punctual start: Films start on time. No trailers or ads; doors open 15 minutes before each screening.
• Guest Q&As: Most screenings include intros or guest Q&As. Check the programme. Filmmaker and guest attendance is never guaranteed.
• One Pass: LandxSea Film Festival is exempt from all Montrose Playhouse memberships—a separate purchased ticket is required.
• Final sales: All ticket sales are final—no refunds, exchanges, or replacements. Unused tickets convert to donations supporting year-round programming.

Q&As, Conversations & Community

Most films are followed by live Q&As or community conversations with filmmakers, artists, scientists, and local changemakers. We also host free community events — beach swims, workshops, artist talks, and more. Check the full programme for details.

Stay Sustainable

We aim to tread lightly while gathering meaningfully. Here’s how you can help:

• Bring your own cup or bottle
• Walk, cycle, or use public transport
• Use recycling and compost bins provided
• Support our community food and drink partners
• Take a Green Pledge after the film

Our Venue: Montrose Playhouse | Cinema & Arts Centre

Our festival home is the Montrose Playhouse, a community-owned cinema and arts hub transformed from a 1960s swimming pool into a modern, accessible, multi-screen venue.

On-site you’ll find:

• Three modern cinemas with wheelchair-accessible seating
• A friendly café/bar for food, drinks, and conversation
• Accessible toilets, hearing loops, and step-free entry (more Access info →)
• Extra space for exhibitions, workshops, and creative events

Festival volunteers will be on hand throughout the weekend — look for the lanyards and smiles!
