Leigh's long awaited Film Club was launched last month at the Turnpike Centre, 20 years after the town’s last cinema closed.
Monthly screenings will be held in the gallery at the Turnpike Centre and will show a much broader range of films than standard multiplexes. Friday 13th June sees a screening of Wallace and Gromit - Curse of the Were Rabbit (Cert U) at 7pm. Tickets are just £3.00 (£1.50 for children) and can be booked in advance at Leigh Library on 01942 404404. Capacity is for 100 people.
Once the club is established, decisions about what to show will include group member suggestions. The programme will be broad in scope in order to appeal to a wide audience.
Paul Banks of Leigh Library commented: “We now need the support of local people to make sure that we can continue to fill the gap in Leigh.”
