Come and have a fun social afternoon of cinema. Our first screening will be hosted in the Thorngate Theatre, part of Thorngate Halls on Bury Road, next to the War Memorial Hospital and at the geographic centre of Gosport.

Our aim with this Midweek Matinee format is to bring together a group of people from across the area who might otherwise be stuck at home. This might include the Over 60s, disabled people and care home residents accompanied by their carers (who can attend for free). But also any other members of our community such as those unable to work or newly arrived in the country. We are an inclusive and welcoming organisation.

About the Screening

You are encouraged to come early and stay afterwards for a cuppa and a chat, whilst the theatre doors will open at 1pm the onsite Bistro is open for lunch beforehand. Food and drink will be provided by Claire’s Bistro on-site. Our initial capacity is 100 which will allow us to have a relaxed “cabaret style” seating layout so you move around rather than be stuck in a row of chairs for the entire afternoon.
