Dear Film Goers,
Our next film night is Friday 1st May 2026 doors open from 7pm, screening 7.30pm.
Please note we do not have allocated seating.
This month’s film is HAMNET
HAMNET
2025 Historical Drama
Plot
A written prologue states that in Stratford, England, “Hamnet” and “Hamlet” were considered the same name.[7]
Agnes is in a forest near a mysterious cave, where she summons a hawk with her falconry glove and gathers herbs.
William Shakespeare works as a tutor, paying family debt. He leaves his students after seeing Agnes, and they share a moment.
William’s mother, Mary, informs him of rumours that Agnes is the daughter of a forest witch who taught her herbal lore, which Agnes later uses to heal a cut on William’s forehead.
William visits Agnes in the forest. She asks him for a story, and he recounts the legend of Orpheus and Eurydice, delighting her.
Agnes reads William’s palm, foretelling a successful future for him, and two children at her deathbed….
Run time approx. 126 minutes

SOUND & PROJECTOR SYSTEMS
A New Sound System was installed just before the screening of the June films in 2017. This system is a Surround Sound environment suitable for Dolby 5.1 recordings, and the verdict by regular film club members – ” It is a big improvement I could hear every word!”
A new high resolution projector has now been installed and has significantly improved the cinematic experience using Blu-Ray Recordings
HEARING LOOP
A new hearing loop was installed in April 2015 to improve both audio and visual experience whilst watching films
