Dinner, a movie and a night in Cowes

For a limited time, Berninneit in Cowes is offering half price cinema tickets every Wednesday and Friday until June 26, making it even easier to plan a night out in Cowes.

No codes or vouchers are needed - the discount is automatically applied when booking, including for those using gift vouchers.

It's a simple invitation: come into town, take your time, and enjoy everything Cowes has to offer.

With sessions planned in the afternoon and evening (including 4.30pm and 7.30pm), it's easy to plan your visit around a meal, a wander through local shops, or a catch-up with friends.

And with money saved on your ticket, there's every reason to put that extra towards dinner, dessert, or something special from a local store.

The line-up has something for everyone.

• The Sheep Detectives, starring Aussie favourite Hugh Jackman - bringing his signature charm to this clever and quirky mystery.
• The Devil Wears Prada 2 sees the return of Meryl Streep as the unforgettable Miranda Priestly. Need we say more? It's the perfect excuse to dress to the nines, head into town and make an occasion of it.
• If action is more your style, In The Grey delivers serious star power with Henry Cavill and Jake Gyllenhaal, bringing high-stakes drama and edge-of-your-seat intensity.
• There are also powerful and thought-provoking stories on offer, including the moving true story: Pike River, starring Melanie Lynskey (Yellowjackets, The Last of Us), and H is for Hawk featuring Claire Foy (The Crown).
• There's even more excitement on the horizon, with Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu arriving at Berninneit on June 19.
