Friday, July 4 – MR. BURTON (2025 – 124 minutes)(cert. 12a). This highly-rated film tells the story of wild schoolboy Rich Jenkins, son of a boozy miner, and his English teacher, Philip Burton, who recognised his talent and encouraged him to pursue his dream of being on the stage. A moving, untold story of how Rich Jenkins became Richard Burton the biggest star Wales has ever produced. With Toby Jones, Lesley Manville, and Harry Lawtey, as the young Richard. (7pm start, doors 6.30)
Friday, August 8 – ANORA (2024 -139 minutes)(cert. 18)
A young stripper from Brooklyn meets and impulsively marries the son of a Russian oligarch. Once the news reaches Russia, her fairy tale romance is threatened as his parents set out for New York to get the marriage annulled.

During the 1972 Summer Olympics in Munich, an American sports broadcasting team must adapt to live coverage of the Israeli athletes being held hostage by a terrorist group.

Friday, October 3– JUROR #2 (2024 – 114 minutes)(cert. 12a)
While serving as a juror in a high-profile murder trial, a family man finds himself struggling with a serious moral dilemma, one he could use to sway the jury’s verdict and potentially convict or free the wrong killer.

Friday, November 7 – NOSFERATU (2024 – 132 minutes)(cert. 15)
A new highly-acclaimed reworking of Bram Stoker’s gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake. This one also stars Nicholas Hoult with Lily-Rose Depp, Willem Dafoe, Bill Skarsgard and Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Stoker’s classic tale. (7pm start, doors 6.30)
Please note: Due to the ever increasing popularity of the Community Centre as a venue, we regret we will have to change the dates of two of our forthcoming film nights. The August film will be shown on the second Friday of the month and the September film on August 29, instead of our usual first Friday slot. Normal service will be resumed from October. Apologies for the inconvenience.
We are aware of other local Film Clubs closing through lack of support, please do continue to attend our showings, we would hate to have the club at risk through lack of an audience!
