Ways to book your tickets for u3aScreenings

Online – visit https://thegulbenkian.co.uk/ and find the screening in question. Before you select your tickets, please insert your u3a booking code into the promo code box at the top left of the screen and click the small grey arrow so that it registers the code. Then select your seats (they will show as full price at this point) and proceed to payment (the discounted price will appear when you are in your basket) From personal experience, I find that if you register with the Gulbenkian first, this then becomes very straightforward.

In person – visit the box office between 5.30-8pm weekday evenings or 1pm-8pm on the weekends (times subject to change). Please ensure to bring your u3a ID as they have no way of validating this on their system.

Email – email boxoffice@kent.ac.uk to reserve your tickets with a name and phone number and they will call you to take payment.

Phone – They are only able to answer the phone between 5.30 and 6.30pm, and are often busy with “in person” customers. You can either ring 01227 769075 during those times or use the email address above..

If none of these methods work for you, you can buy your ticket on the day, but please arrive in good time, as there maybe a queue and you will also need to show your u3a membership card.

Parking is free at the weekends or there is a regular bus service from the bus station every 15 minutes. There is a small range of light refreshments available at the cafe . Please be advised that the Gulbenkian is cashless.
