Christmas Greetings and all good wishes for the New Year!

Our Christmas film is The Pirates! In an Adventure with Scientists, (Cert U) a British-American stop-motion animated adventure comedy film produced by Aardman Animations in partnership with Sony Pictures Animation. It was directed by Peter Lord, the director of Chicken Run.

The film features the voices of Hugh Grant, Martin Freeman, David Tennant, Salma Hayek, Jeremy Piven and Imelda Staunton.

The film is based on the first two books from Gideon Defoe's The Pirates! series, Set in 1837, it relates the story of the Pirate Captain, who leads a, rag-tag group of amateur pirates who are trying to make a name for themselves on the high seas. Other characters in the film include Charles Darwin, Queen Victoria and a trained chimpanzee named Mr Bobo!

The Pirates! is being shown in The Corn Exchange, with a matinee performance on Friday 28th December 2012 at 2.30pm and an evening performance on Saturday 29th December 2012 at 7.30pm.

Admission is £6, with tickets available from Brydens Newsagents and at the door on the evening, subject to availabilty.


Our 2012/13 Season

From a quintessential British comedy to an American drama, from an Aardman animation to a charming Martin Scorcese adventure, from a black & white 1920s drama to the latest James Bond movie ..... Something for everyone? We hope so. At the end of last season, we asked our audience to rate the films we showed, and our new season's programme is based on the comments we received. Two of our films – The Artist and Hugo – each won five Oscars this year!

About Us

Biggar Little Cinema was founded in February 2011, and is run as a community cinema on a non-profit basis.

As a not-for-profit organisation, our aim is to disburse all the surplus from our screenings as charitable donations, to local organisations and Rotary projects.

We also aim to provide the opportunity for members of an isolated rural community to enjoy good films without having to make a round trip of 60 miles or more to the commercial cinema.

Our films are shown in high-resolution digital quality, and projected using the latest digital equipment on to a full-size cinema screen. To match the exceptional quality of our picture, our sound is Dolby stereo using high definition loudspeakers. The Corn Exchange is well-known as an excellent venue, with very comfortable cinema-style seating and a cosy atmosphere. A full bar is available both before and after each screening, with a lounge area for relaxing and chatting with friends. All in all, Biggar Little Cinema offers a perfect location - and all proceeds go to support local organisations and Rotary projects.

Thank you again for your support!
