Showcase Cinemas offers free entry to red heads so they can hide from the heat

As experts predict the UK could witness its hottest ever days on record next week, Showcase Cinemas has announced that red heads will be given free entry to its screens. The news comes as the UK basks in sunshine, however, with temperatures expected to reach the high 30s next Monday and Tuesday, many people will be heeding advice to stay out of the heat.

With that in mind, the good people at Showcase have taken special precautions for those of a fairer complexion. Red heads, often more vulnerable than most to the sun’s rays, will be allowed to shelter from the sun inside the fully air conditioned cinema screens to catch the latest blockbusters for no cost at all.

Auditoriums at Showcase Cinemas across the country are kept cool thanks to the cinemas’ state-of-the-art air conditioning system, which offers all guests a welcome reprieve from the heat when the sun gets just that little bit too much. Red heads cashing in on the offer will be able to watch Chris Hemsworth reprise his role as Thor in Thor: Love and Thunder, experience the roots of rock and roll in the big screen biopic Elvis, laugh out loud with Minions: The Rise of Gru, and much more.

Mark Barlow, UK general manager for Showcase Cinemas, said: “While the UK enjoys some much-needed sunny weather, we know how hard some people find the heat. That’s why to tackle the heatwave, we’re offering red heads free entry to our cinema screens this Monday and Tuesday, so they’ll be able to enjoy some of the amazing films on offer in the comfort of our air-conditioned cinema screens and ensure they stay protected from the sun."

The free tickets for red heads are available from the box office of their local Showcase Cinema on Monday, July 18, and Tuesday, July 19, only, for films showing on those days. The offer is limited to one free ticket per person and can’t be used in conjunction with any other offer.
