All tickets £4.50Step into one of the sharpest, funniest, and most entertaining comedies ever made: Trading Places.
What happens when a ruthless bet turns two strangers’ lives upside down? In this classic from director John Landis, a wealthy commodities broker and a streetwise hustler find their worlds completely swapped by two eccentric millionaires looking to settle a wager. Suddenly, privilege becomes poverty, and survival becomes a game neither man is prepared for. Watch as Louis Winthorpe III, a polished executive with everything to lose, is thrown into chaos, while Billy Ray Valentine, a sharp-witted con man from the streets, is given a shot at high society. What follows is a brilliant mix of satire, social commentary, and outrageous comedy as both men discover the truth about power, money, and identity.
Featuring standout performances from Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd, Trading Places delivers fast-paced humour, unforgettable moments, and a story that still feels razor-sharp today. Whether you’re in it for the laughs, the clever twists, or the iconic performances, this is a film that never loses its edge. Experience the chaos, the comedy, and the con—Trading Places is a must-watch classic that proves everything has its price.
