Free cinema tickets are up for grabs this weekend - but only if you have a certain name.
Showcase Cinemas is celebrating the Royal Jubilee by offering free cinema tickets and snacks for anyone named Elizabeth over the Jubilee bank holiday. On Thursday, June 2 and Friday, June 3, film fans with the same first name as The Queen can claim a free cinema ticket to a screening of their choice at their local Showcase cinema location, nationwide.
Continuing the bank holiday celebrations, on Saturday, June 4 and Sunday, June 5, they will be able to claim a complimentary sweet or salted popcorn in front of the big screen. To bag the freebies, cinemagoers simply need to show valid photo ID, like a driving licence or passport, at the cinema box office to prove their name.
The offer is available to anyone named Elizabeth, or a variation of the name, including Beth, Liz, Betty and more. Accepted variations of Elizabeth include Liz, Lizzie, Eliza, Elissa, Elisa, Elise, Elsie, Elisabet, Beth, Betty, Bet, Bess, Bessie, Betsy, Betsey, Alisa, Lisel, Liselle, Lesetta, Lib, Libby, Libbie, Tetsy, Tetty, Tibbie, Bethia, Lisabette, Lisabetta, Lisbeth, Elspie, Elspeth, Else, Elisabeth, Elisabete, Lusa, Erzsebet and Lise.
There will be a whole host of films to choose from, including 'Top Gun: Maverick', the new psychological thriller 'Men' and animated comedy 'The Bob’s Burgers Movie'. Mark Barlow, UK general manager for Showcase Cinemas, said: "The Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebration is set to be a fantastic long weekend full of many celebratory occasions across the UK.
"In honour of Her Majesty, we wanted to give her namesakes a reward, whether that's in the form of a free ticket or a complimentary sweet (or salty) treat. We can't wait to celebrate our monarch's extraordinary reign with our guests over the Jubilee weekend and for them to enjoy a royal freebie."
The offer is valid at Showcase Cinema and Showcase Cinema de Lux locations nationwide from Thursday, June till Sunday, June 5.
For customers who aren't named Elizabeth, there are still great offers to be had for Showcase Insider members, who receive a variety of benefits throughout the year, including 10% rewards on tickets, snacks and drinks, discounted admission after 7pm on Sundays and all-day Monday and Tuesday, plus exclusive access to advance screenings.
