A SHORT SEASON OF RECENTS FILMS
BIG SCREEN – DOLBY STEREO SOUND – AFFORDABLE PRICES – LICENSED BAR
The schedule of films from September 2021 – December 2021 is now available to view on the ‘What’s On’ page.
Please note – whilst Covid restrictions are still in place, you will need to wear a mask in the hall (except whilst drinking during the interval) and we ask you to use the hand-sanitisers provided.
About: Film Friday began life in 2015 when Gary Lowsley and Adrian Hughes, both keen film buffs and then Chair and Vice-Chair respectively of the Recreation Association, initiated a monthly showing of recent and classic films in the Community Centre. It was not intended as a profit-making venture, although we are of course happy when we can at least break even, the main outlay being the licence to show films publicly.
Generally, in the Autumn four films are shown, with three more after Christmas. So far, over forty have been screened. Prices are kept as low as reasonably possible, with reductions for young people and occasional free shows.
There is always a bar, with a range of drinks: beer, wine, soft drinks, tea, or coffee. We open the bar, run by a devoted team of committee members, ahead of each performance and in the interval midway through films.
The audio-visual equipment, funded by a lottery grant is of professional quality, with Dolby stereo sound, digital projector and a large screen. It is customary to show every film with English subtitles to cater for audience members with impaired hearing.
Details of films being shown can be found on the Castle Caereinion Facebook page and on this community site on the What’s On pages. A flyer with all the season’s films is available in September and December, and posters are displayed in Castle and the surrounding communities.
Capacity: Up to 100 seats, but generally audiences are between 30 and 50 people…although YOU could come and increase that!
Tickets: £4.00 adults/£2.00 young persons – tickets available at the door.
