Upcoming films
17 October 2025 - A Complete Unknown
We kick off the 2025-26 season with this captivating biopic that chronicles Bob Dylan's (Timothée Chalamet) transformative journey from a 19-year-old troubadour in 1961 New York to the revolutionary artist who electrified the music world. The film immerses you in the vibrant folk scene, exploring Dylan's relationships with icons like Joan Baez (Monica Barbaro) and Pete Seeger (Edward Norton). With eight Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor, A Complete Unknown is a must-see for music enthusiasts and cinephiles alike.
14 November 2025 - Mr Burton
A touching and inspirational British drama based on a true story, Mr Burton follows a beloved teacher whose dedication transforms the lives of his students and community. Starring Richard Harrington as the passionate educator and Morfydd Clark, this heartfelt film celebrates kindness, mentorship, and the quiet power of making a difference.
12 December 2025 - Wonka
A magical, musical adventure starring Timothée Chalamet as the young Willy Wonka, long before he became the world’s most famous chocolatier. Brimming with imagination, heart, and humour, Wonka reveals how one man’s dream - and a little chocolate - can change everything. Featuring Olivia Colman, Hugh Grant, and Rowan Atkinson, it’s a treat for all ages.
January 2026 - The Great Escaper
Based on an astonishing true story, The Great Escaper stars Michael Caine and Glenda Jackson in her final film. When 89-year-old Bernard Jordan slips out of his care home to attend the D-Day anniversary in France, his journey captures the world’s imagination. Moving, funny, and deeply human, it’s a celebration of love, bravery, and remembrance.
(We do our best to show the films advertised but in very exceptional circumstances there may be a change to the schedule.)
