Valentine’s Day At Tyneside Cinema: Romantic Private Screenings And Unique Date Ideas In Newcastle
Valentine’s Day can be lovely. It can also be a bit samey.
The same crowded restaurants, the same set menus, the same pressure to have “the perfect night”, even if you’d honestly rather be in your comfiest clothes with a drink in hand and something brilliant on the big screen.
If that sounds like you, we’ve got a plan that feels romantic without being cheesy and special without being stressful. Here’s a Valentine’s date idea at Tyneside Cinema, whether you’re celebrating on 14 February or making a night of it in the lead-up.
A Romantic Private Cinema Screening, Just For The Two Of You
Celebrate Valentine’s with your very own private screening at Tyneside Cinema. Where you can relive a romantic favourite or choose something completely unexpected, all from the privacy of your own screen for just £120.
Here’s what it includes:
- Your own private screen
- Dinner for two
- A film of your choice
- Popcorn for two
- A glass of prosecco each
It’s a genuinely romantic cinema experience, without the fuss. You choose the film, you get your own screen, and we’ll make sure it feels like a proper occasion from the moment you arrive.
No sharing the row with strangers. No worrying about who’s talking. Just you, your person, and the magic of cinema doing its thing.
It’s ideal if you’re planning a surprise, marking an anniversary, or you simply want a date night that feels like a treat.
Make A Whole Night Of It With Food And Drink
A cinema date is already a great idea. A cinema date with good food and a drink before the lights go down is even better.
Whether you like to arrive early and settle in, or you’re squeezing a date night into a busy week, Tyneside makes it easy to do everything in one place. Grab a bite, have a drink, and head straight into your screening without trekking across town in the cold.

If you’re coming on Valentine’s Day itself, our biggest tip is simple: plan your timing. Pick a film you’re excited about, book your seats, then give yourself a bit of breathing space either side so the night stays relaxed. No rushing, no stress, just a proper evening together.
Let Us Pick The Film, You Pick The Vibe
Sometimes the only hard part of a cinema date is deciding what to watch. One of you wants something romantic, the other wants something with a bit more bite. Or you both want different things and neither of you wants to admit it.
That’s where our programme comes in. We show films big and small, new releases, classics, cult favourites, and everything in between. If you’re looking for a Valentine’s plan that doesn’t feel like every other Valentine’s plan, start with what’s on and build the night around whatever grabs you.

A good move for the lead-up to Valentine’s is choosing a film you’ll want to talk about afterwards. Something with a twist, a big emotional moment, or a soundtrack that follows you home. The film becomes part of the date, not just the background.
And if you’re not into Valentine’s at all, we see you. A cinema night is still a solid plan. No pressure, no awkward romance scripts, just a warm seat and a great story.
A Cinema Experience Gift That Actually Feels Thoughtful
If you’re stuck on gifts, you’re not alone. Valentine’s gift shopping has a habit of turning into a last-minute panic and a sad-looking bunch of supermarket flowers.
A cinema experience gift is different. It’s not “stuff”. It’s time together. It’s a plan. It’s something you can look forward to, which is half the joy.
If you want to go the gift route, our shop is a great place to start. You can choose something that fits your budget, whether it’s a little treat or a bigger surprise.

And if you want the most memorable cinema experience gift of the lot, it’s hard to top a private screening. It’s personal, it’s romantic, and it feels like you’ve really thought about it, because you have.
Date Ideas That Feel Like You (Not What Valentine’s Tells You To Do)
Not every romantic date needs roses and a three-course meal. Sometimes it’s dressing up just because it’s fun, sharing popcorn and pretending you’re not racing each other to the last piece, holding hands in the dark like you’re teenagers again, choosing a film that means something to you both, or watching something totally new and walking out with a fresh favourite.
That’s the thing about cinema. It meets you where you are: first dates, long-term loves, best mates doing a “Galentine’s” night, couples who want quiet romance, couples who want a laugh, people who just want a warm place to be together in February. Everyone is welcome.
And when you choose independent cinema, you’re also choosing community. Tyneside Cinema is a charity, and the support of our guests is what keeps our screens lit. Every ticket, every visit, every coffee, every booking helps us keep bringing films and experiences to the North East, and that’s something worth celebrating.
Want To Go Bigger? Make It An Event
Valentine’s isn’t just for couples, either. You might be planning a group night, a celebration, or something a bit more ambitious.
If you’re thinking bigger than a standard screening, we also offer event hire at Tyneside, and we can help you shape a night that feels genuinely special.
Find out more about Event Hire at Tyneside, or you explore the full Hire Us page for more information.
And if your idea of “romantic” is booking a screen and creating your own little world for the night, you already know what we’re going to say.
Ready To Plan Your Valentine’s Cinema Date?
Whether you’re celebrating on 14 February itself or making the most of the lead-up, we’ve got options that feel warm, thoughtful, and a little bit magical.
If you want the big romantic gesture without the fuss, you can book a Couples Screening and make the cinema yours for the night.
For £120, you’ll get your own private screen, dinner for two, a film of your choice, popcorn for two, and a glass of prosecco each.
Go ahead and book your Private screening here, or, if you’re planning on keeping it simple, you browse What’s On and pick the film that fits your mood.
However you do Valentine’s, we’ll make sure you feel at home. The lights will dim, the screen will glow, and for a couple of hours, it’s just you, the story, and great company.
