The Red Carpet Cinema & Café Bar is an award-winning independent cinema, restaurant and café bar at Barton Marina, Staffordshire, combining great food and great films under one roof.

We're proud to have been awarded TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice status for three consecutive years, with more than 2,000 customer reviews celebrating our food, friendly service and cosy cinema experience.

Located at the heart of beautiful Barton Marina, we're an independent two-screen cinema with a quirky art deco-inspired café bar, spacious outdoor patio and a relaxed atmosphere that encourages you to slow down and enjoy yourself.

Join us for breakfast, lunch, dinner, Sunday roasts, coffee and cake, or one of our popular film-and-food packages.

Many of our customers visit purely for the café bar. Others combine a meal with a film for the perfect day or evening out.

Watch the latest blockbuster releases, independent cinema favourites, documentaries and award-winning art-house films. We also present live-streamed concerts, theatre, opera and ballet performances from around the world, alongside a variety of creative classes and special events.

Whether you're visiting for a meal, a film or both, we're here seven days a week to help you relax and enjoy a great day or evening out.

Finding us couldn't be simpler.

We're conveniently located just off the A38 between Lichfield and Burton upon Trent, with plenty of free, safe and hassle-free parking.

Nestled alongside Barton Marina's bustling waterside village, you can enjoy a stroll along the promenade, walk around the lakes, browse the art gallery, shop, enjoy an ice cream, or simply settle down for good food, a glass of wine and a great film.

Above all, we want you to relax, switch off from the outside world and enjoy yourself while we take care of everything.

We also work hard to deliver excellent value for money.
