We are thrilled to announce the opening of a community cInema and film club just set up in Northenden.  It's called 'The Block' and can be found at West View Court off Royle Green Road.  They will be screening evening performances on Thursdays, and some afternoons they will be running 'Feel Good Cinema' which are screenings for people experiencing memory loss issues including dementia.  Not only is there a large screening area, but you will also enjoy full surround sound!  

Tickets cost £4 and include the first tea/coffee and biscuits.
