New Dot Cinema, Llangollen’s very own movie palace, is back.
The doors open again on July 25 with the classic coming-of-age film, Stand By Me.
The monthly screenings will take in classic films as well as new and independent movies to bring people together to enjoy the magic of cinema on the big screen and offering a welcoming space for audiences across the Dee Valley.
“We’re delighted to relaunch New Dot Cinema with such a brilliant, classic film," said Olivia Brown, who has spearheaded the relaunch of this much-missed community organisation.
“We have a new team of enthusiastic volunteers with lots of ideas for future films and events and we can’t wait to share more details with people in the coming weeks.
"We’re also setting up a new website along with new pages on Facebook and Instagram where people will be able to check our programme of upcoming films. The team would also like to thank Llangollen Town Council, who gave us a community grant which enabled us to bring New Dot back.”
Stand By Me, based on a novel by Stephen King, takes place over a summer weekend in Castle Rock, Oregon in 1959.
Four friends set out on a life-changing adventure to look for the body of a missing boy. Knowing only the general location, the boys head out into the woods. What starts out as a lark turns into the defining event of their lives, when they discover the meaning of friendship, learning much about themselves and each other.
* Tickets cost £6 and can be purchased online from Ticket Source (+50p booking fee) or in cash from June 27 from Laura’s Tea Room in Oak Street, Llangollen.
