Because of your kind comments & guidance on Tripadvisor, The Red Carpet is now an attraction and restaurant that is ranked within the top 10% most positively reviewed attractions and restaurants in the world. This helps us more than you could possibly imagine, at a time when film releases have been scarce. Thank you so much, I really appreciate the time & effort you have taken to do this for us. Kate (Owner)

You can find us easily as we are situated just off the A38 between Lichfield and Burton on Trent and there is loads of easy, free car parking. We are nestled alongside the daily lives of the boat village at Barton Marina where you can stroll the promenade, enjoy a walk around the lakes, indulge in an ice cream, view the art gallery, shop for clothes or most importantly eat, drink and/ or watch a film at The Red Carpet.

Above all we want you to relax and enjoy yourselves whilst we look after you. We also want to offer you great value for money, so we have a one course lunch or breakfast & matinee ticket from £15.95pp and a two-course evening meal and film from £29.95pp. You can, of course, just enjoy a film without the food in our cosy, comfortable little cinemas and our prices for a cinema ticket are £7.95 in the morning, £9.95 in the afternoon and £11.95 from 5pm onwards.
