Cinema Strands

Alongside new release films, we also offer four dedicated cinema strands to help make film accessible to all.

Lighthouse is a fortnightly discovery strand designed to give the film lovers of Hertford and beyond, an opportunity to watch films that might be slightly more off the beaten track than your mainstream titles.

Taking place every other Thursday at 7pm, Lighthouse screenings will include a variety of titles which vary from arthouse directorial debuts to heartfelt documentaries and quirky body horror titles. All Lighthouse screenings will operate a 'Pay What You Feel' pricing structure which will allow you to choose the price point that best suits you.
