The Village Picture House

The Bernard Hall Management Committee in Cuddington is delighted to announce that the work to equip the new cinema facilities is now complete and that the Village Picture House web page is now live.

• High-definition video on a commercial-sized 4.5 metre screen
• High-fidelity, multi-channel surround sound
• New upholstered seating with armrests
• Licensed bar for wine, beer and soft drinks
• Freshly ground coffee, tea, ice cream and snacks
• Catering courtesy of John and Elaine Moore at Cuddington Stores

The film schedule begins on Thursday 3rd October with a screening of Iron Man 3.  This is the first of a regular programme of big-screen viewings for local people.  They will be showing a range of films including action, drama, sci-fi, children’s, art house and romantic comedy movies, including both recent releases and older films, so hopefully they will have something for everyone.  Tickets for films are priced at just £4 for adults and £3 for under-18s, students and over-60s.

The Village Picture House has scored a significant coup – they are one of just 250 venues in the UK (and the only village hall) licensed to show live and pre-recorded filming of National Theatre productions.  These screenings have been hugely successful and attract sell-out audiences in large venues across the UK and around the world.  The first event will be on Thursday 26th September when they present a live screening of Othello with Adrian Lester in the title role.  National Theatre prices are set at £10 per person, the lowest price we are allowed to charge under the terms of our contract.

You can buy tickets at Cuddington Stores (cash only, please) or book online using PayPal, a debit or credit card.  There are only fifty or so seats per night, and they expect most events to sell out very quickly.  Book early!  To make sure that you receive priority email updates about new Village Picture House screenings:
