Come and join the friendly team at Exeter Picturehouse

Picturehouse Cinemas Limited
Customer Service Assistant
Picturehouse Cinemas, formed in 1989 and are now a stand-alone division of Cineworld Group PLC. Independent, art-house and foreign-language films have always been central to our profile. Equally, each of our cinemas is programmed in response to its local audience, and most of our venues have mainstream blockbusters and quality crossover titles in the mix.
Picturehouse cinemas have bars and, where possible, restaurants which are central to the experience and are important to providing a ‘grown-up’ experience for our audiences.
Providing quality food and drink is as important as providing quality films.
