3-4 hours before a film is about to start would be best. However due to the films we have I would suggest booking the day before as it would secure better seats. Also the best time to phone book is when films are in and playing, if you try to call before a film goes in its highly possible for your call to go unanswered due to the masses coming through before a film starts.
We look forward to seeing your lovely smiles over the next few weeks :)
