Lisa Dyson, Cononley Primary School

We have been using ‘Community Cinemas’ for a number of years now. Initially I ran the evening as a family event and they were very well supported. This year I have run several evenings ‘just for the children’. These run straight from school and are proving very popular with the children and their parents! The extended school day is always well supported! I think the key to success is to organise the dates and film choice early.

Anthony and team provide a professional service that gives me the confidence to run at least four of these nights a year. They set up the school hall for us and even tidy up afterwards! We provide Hot dogs and pop corn for the children, which they love!

I would not hesitate to recommend ‘Community Cinemas’ to anyone!

We have had four successful film showings so far and hopefully many more to come!
Community Cinemas has been such a bonus to our community as we no longer have
a cinema in are town so Anthony and his professional team provide us with the latest
movies which we can then show at a fraction of normal cinema costs.
A great service is provided by his company and they are now going to another YMCA Centre
due to it’s success at St. Annes YMCA, all clubs and groups should give it a go!

After seeing your company Community Cinemas show various films in a High School in Blackburn, I booked them to visit my scout group. I felt this was a fantastic way to view new release films as a group. It was a great way for our community to all enjoy seeing the new release of Toy Story 3.The feedback from the children and parents were good. They commented on the quality and screen size that they watched the film on as being fantastic.
Immanuel Scout Group, Feniscowles, Blackburn.

Community Cinema arrived in plenty of time to set up the large screen and were very accommodating with dates and times. Overall the service we received was very good. I would strongly recommend using Community Cinemas to view films and new release films.
