   We did the behind the scenes tour today. What an amazing place! One of the best bits of Birmingham history that we should all know about and definitely fight to preserve. It was so good to hear the origin story of the Electric and to think about all it's gone through since 1909... and it was particularly brilliant to see original features and equipment and poke around in the basement... If you love cinema and love Birmingham then the Electric tour is a must

   Empire of Light is a truly good film. It was a treat to see it at The Electric which is a special place. Welcoming staff, comfortable seats and wine! Couldn't wish for more. Katie was reassuringly helpful when I messed up my email address on booking. Thanks!

   A charming little cinema, the first cinema in Birmingham, and as of 2022 is the oldest known working cinema in the UK. Friendly, cosy, great cocktails. Thank you for the experience!

   Love this quirky little cinema! The staff are helpful and knowledgeable - they honestly couldn't be any friendlier! We loved it so much we bought a membership. Got to keep these special places going!

   A lovely intimate cinema with 2 small screens and a bar. Seats are comfy, especially the armchairs at the front where they also come with footstools. There are also sofas at the back, but better to be at the front (especially for screen 2 upstairs)

   Oldest working cinema in England, showing the best of recent releases and classic movies and cult favourites. Great cake and cocktails too.

   What a fantastic place. I never knew it was there. This not like any other cinema that I have been before. You seat in sofas then you text you drinks and snacks order to a number and then your order turns up. Brilliant experience.
