Cinema

‘Swallows and Amazons’ – that childhood book that many may remember – comes afresh to us in the 2016 film, a charmingly old-fashioned family adventure starring Rafe Spall and Andrew Scott. Tideswell Cinema is showing it on Thursday 24th at 7.30pm upstairs in the George, and you and your family are welcome.
Four children dream of escaping the tedium of a school holiday with their mother. When finally given permission to camp on their own on an island in a vast lake, they are overjoyed. But when they get there they discover they are not alone . . . Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the Lake District, this heartwarming adventure should give both young and older an evening of pleasure, as our 2016/17 film season comes to a close. Guest members are welcome to join us for £4 (under 16s £2.50).

New season

Our membership list will be renewed over the summer, and the new programme of films for 2017/18 will be launched in September with a Double Bill and meal at the George on Saturday 9th. We show at least one film every month of the year, have at least two Double Bills and meal, and hold a special film Oscar Night. All this for just £25. If you would like to become a member of Tideswell Cinema, or renew your current membership, please email tideswellcinema@gmail.com. (The list of our films up to February will be on our website during this month.)

September’s Double Bill, always popular events, features two films by that giant of Hollywood, Dustin Hoffman. At 4pm we kick off with ‘Midnight Cowboy’, also starring Jon Voight, winner of Best Film Oscar in 1969 and regarded as one of the greatest films ever. After our meal we will see ‘Tootsie’, the delightful tale of an actor who adopts the identity of a woman in order to get parts. Full details and booking forms will be available soon on our website www.tideswellcinema .comf, but to register your interest please email us at tideswellcinema@gmail.com.
