Biggar Little Cinema

The Community Cinema at the Corn Exchange

News Update No 14

November 2012

Our next film is The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, a 2012 British comedy-drama directed by John Madden and written by Ol Parker.

The film stars an ensemble cast, featuring Judi Dench, Celia Imrie, Bill Nighy, Ronald Pickup, Maggie Smith, Tom Wilkinson and Penelope Wilton. It is based on the 2004 novel, These Foolish Things, by Deborah Moggach.

A desperate group of British pensioners travels to India to take up residence in what they believe is a newly restored hotel, a seemingly luxurious sanctuary for ‘the elderly and beautiful’ in Jaipur.

Less luxurious than its advertisements, the Marigold Hotel nevertheless slowly begins to charm in unexpected ways.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel is being shown in The Corn Exchange on Friday 23rd November 2012 at 7.30pm and Saturday 24th November 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!
