Sarah Forrest: Recital
Gallery in the Cinema: Recital (2016) is set in those first strange moments of waking up, where certainty and strangeness run in parallel as the mind tries to make sense of what is happening.
Scribe (15)
PROGRAMMER'S PICK. In a film that owes much to the classic political thrillers of the 1970s, François Cluzet stars as a recovering alcoholic working for a mysterious employer, typing up recorded conversations.
England Is Mine (15)
An evocative (and surprisingly funny) portrait of (Steven Patrick) Morrissey, frontman of iconic band The Smiths, focused on his time in 70s Manchester.
NT Live: Yerma
The incredible Billie Piper returns in her Evening Standard Best Actress award-winning role. A young woman is driven to the unthinkable by her desperate desire to have a child in this radical production of Lorca’s powerful masterpiece.
Bringing In Baby: The Beguiled (15)
Cinema screening for parents, grandparents and carers of babies to enjoy a film without having to worry about baby making too much noise! The bar will be open for drinks and snacks. A hot or cold drink is included in the ticket price
The Midwife (12A)
A bold and buoyant two-hander, The Midwife is a bewitching and unapologetic celebration of life’s loves losses and endless fresh surprises.
Dunkirk (12A) + SWFTA Short Films
BOOK EARLY. From Christopher Nolan comes the epic action thriller based on the miracle evacuation of Allied soldiers from the beaches and harbour of Dunkirk.

Winner of Best Arts, Culture and Theatre Venue – Muddy Stilettos Devon Awards 2024
As the cost of living crisis bites, we don’t want people to break the habit of coming to the cinema because it’s something they can no longer afford. There’s no better way to watch a film than to make an event of it and see it on the big screen, with an audience. You won’t be asked any questions if you choose this price point, just choose the Budget Ticket option when you book.
