€3 cinema deal all this week

Some 5,000 cinemas are taking part in the Fête du Cinéma , which runs until Friday night.

MORE than four million cut-price cinema tickets are up for grabs all this week in the summer Fête du Cinéma.

The scheme allows film fans to buy one ticket and receive a passport offering entry to any other screening for just €3 each until Friday night.

The first ticket does not have to be at the full rate - concessions and loyalty card discounts still apply.

The 5,000 participating cinemas will be showing films including Shrek 4, Top Cops featuring Bruce Willis and French romantic comedy Les Petits Ruisseaux.

For more information, see the official Fête du Cinéma website.
