How we are reopening…
We are so excited to be coming back to screenings in our community and the joy of watching films together - we hope you will be joining us....
It seems unbelievable that our last screening was in January 2020. Little did we know then it wouldn't just be a kids matinee we would be postponing but the rest of the year and more. We have been itching to open up again but as we are sure you'll understand from your own experiences of the last year, we need to make sure we can do this safely, for our audience and for us, the volunteers who run the events for you.
Keeping you safe
In order to keep everyone safe at the screenings, and in line with the rules at the community centre, we will be asking that everyone wear masks while walking around the hall. It's optional to wear a mask during the film, whichever you feel more comfortable with. We understand some audience members are exempt from wearing masks so will not challenge anyone who doesn't.
We ask that if you have any Covid symptoms you do not attend for obvious reasons.
We will have hand sanitiser around the place and ask you use this.
We have also invested in card readers and encourage contactless payment for tickets and at the bar as much as possible.
We will space the chairs out a little more than normal and will be selling a few less tickets to ensure we don't have another Bohemian Rhapsody situation with people sitting in the doorway for lack of space - oh to be back in those days!
Covering the cost
We're sorry to say, due to various increases in the costs of running the event, from the cost of the hall and film licences, through to investment in contactless payments and associated fees we are, for the first time since we launched in 2016, going to raise the cost of tickets, and also some items on the bar. Adult tickets will rise from £5 to £6, child tickets from £2.50 to £3.00. Drinks on the bar, beer and wine, will also go up by 50p to £3 each.
Past purchases
As we had to cancel the family matinee we had planned many people will have tickets which were paid for, but not used. We are happy to honour these tickets for a future screening, if you can please get in touch on social media, letting us know you want to come, so we don't sell too many tickets. If however you would be happy to forfeit the ticket and help support us moving forward, we would be really grateful.

Join L A Cinema for its first film in its Autumn programme and in collaboration with Cinema For All and its celebration of a century of community cinema.
L A Cinema screen the powerful documentary Ocean, made by Bristol production company Silverback Films and Open Planet Studios.
Ocean was released as a global cinema event in May of this year, coinciding with David Attenborough’s 99th birthday.
Ocean takes viewers on a breathtaking journey, showing there is nowhere more vital for our survival, more full of life, wonder, or surprise, than the ocean. In the film, the celebrated broadcaster and filmmaker reveals how his lifetime has coincided with ocean discovery. Through spectacular sequences featuring coral reefs, kelp forests and the open ocean: Attenborough shares why a healthy ocean keeps the entire planet stable and flourishing.
Stunning, immersive cinematography showcases the wonderful life under the seas and exposes the realities and challenges facing our ocean as never-before-seen, from destructive fishing techniques to mass coral bleaching. Yet the story is one of optimism, with Attenborough pointing to inspirational stories from around the world to deliver his greatest message: the ocean can recover to a glory beyond anything anyone alone has ever seen.
Tickets a bargain price of only £3.00. We will be serving drinks: wines, beers, ciders, soft drinks and hot beverages.
