Cinemas in Edinburgh

Two proper cinemas, both right in the centre, cover a good spread of what families actually need. The Cameo Picturehouse is an independent a couple of kilometres out, with tickets from £5.50, baby and toddler screenings, kids' film club sessions and relaxed showings where the lights stay up and the sound comes down. Everyman Edinburgh sits in the centre itself and builds its programme around babies, toddlers and school-holiday film clubs, so you are not trying to sneak a pushchair into a Saturday night showing. For toddlers, look for the baby and toddler screenings at either place rather than a standard listing. If sensory needs matter, the Cameo's relaxed showings and sensory-friendly setup are worth choosing over a normal screen. Both are indoors, both have step-free access and toilets, and the Cameo adds a cafe, wifi and dog-friendly seating if you fancy staying on afterwards. Neither will empty your wallet for a family trip, but the Cameo's £5.50 starting price is the one to check first.
