The Castle Sidcup

The Castle Sidcup is an independent, community-driven cinema run by the team behind The Castle Cinema in Hackney, reopening in late 2025 after the previous Sidcup Storyteller closed. The venue programmes a broad variety of cinematic content including the best new releases, outstanding independent films, family favourites, and plans to screen cult classics and host film clubs and special events. With a cosy, friendly atmosphere and a newly refurbished space, the cinema aims to be an invaluable local asset for Sidcup and the wider Bexley area.

The Castle Sidcup offers a range of accessible and community-focused screenings including baby screenings, relaxed screenings for neurodiverse audiences, and support for audio description, hard-of-hearing subtitles, and amplified audio. The venue is also available for private hire, making it possible to book the cinema for personal screenings, birthday celebrations, or community events. As an independent cinema committed to showing diverse programming at competitive prices, it's a welcoming alternative to chain multiplexes for local film lovers.
