The Film Society
The Film Society is a volunteer
run, not for profit community cinema initiative which was
established in 2011 by a group of dedicated film
lovers.
At the end of the first season
the Film Society won the Best New Film Society Award at the
British Federation of Film Societies annual awards ceremony,
gaining commendations for Best Programming and Best Marketing and
Publicity and founder of the Film Society, David Saitch, won
an award for Outstanding Contribution by an
Individual.
The aim of the Film Society is to
provide the residents of Hurstpierpoint and the surrounding area
with access to a diverse range of the best films available from
around the world. These films might be recent films that have not
had the ex[posure they should, or films from the past which have
been missed or forgotten.
Films are shown twice a month on
the second Friday and fourth Thursday of the month,
depending on the availability of the theatre.
The doors and bar open at 7.00
and the film starts at 8.00
Tickets are priced as
follows:

Saturday Cinema
The Saturday Cinema shows family
films on the Saturday afternoon following the Film Society
Screening.
Doors open at 2.30 and the film
starts at 3.00
There is no membership for the Saturday Cinema, but we do require any children under the age of 7 to be accompanied by an adult. Children over the age of 7 can be left alone at screenings, but parents should be aware that we are not providing any official childcare. We do take precautions to ensure that these screenings are held in as safe an environment as possible, including having a member of the team present to monitor the auditorium and help any children that need it and ensuring that no-one over the age of 18 is allowed in unless accompanying a child.
If you do leave your child at the
theatre, please ensure you are there in good time to pick them up
at the end of the film.
All tickets for the Saturday
Cinema cost £3.50.
Coffee and cakes are on sale to
Mums and Dads, and a range of sweets and soft drinks are on sale to
the children.
