Welcome to Cults & Classics, the open-air mega film festival fully curated and produced by Inhouse CIC. Our programmes feature a variety of genres, including Classics, Horror, Music, Comedy, Action, and a selection of sing-a-long musicals. All of our iconic titles are presented on a huge LED cinema screen in the QPA amphitheatre.

The QPA amphitheatre is a unique outdoor venue, and we encourage you to bring blankets and cushions to keep you comfortable. If you require special seating, please contact us in advance.

Our show goes on unless severe weather conditions curtail it, so keep an eye on our website and social media for updates. In the past, we have worked with The Glasgow Short Film Festival and Short Circuit to display Scottish short films by up-and-coming filmmakers and collaborated with GAMIS (Glasgow Artists and Moving Image Society) to screen international films.

Where possible we will update our listings to notify of cancelled, postponed and rescheduled events, however we STRONGLY ADVISE that you check with the venue/organiser in the first instance for updates.
