SHORT DRIVE FROM BRIGG TO ENJOY TOP FILMS

FROM NORTH LINCOLNSHIRE COUNCIL

A new film scheme from North Lincolnshire Council will bring all the glitz and glamour of the big screen to village halls and community centres across North Lincolnshire.
If you live in Brigg, your can make a short drive out of town to take in a film.
The FilmLincs Rural Cinema Scheme will work with local promoters to make the joys of cinema more accessible for rural audiences.
To starting the series of screenings with a bang, we will be showing ‘Dad’s Army’ (PG) at Worlaby Village Hall on Sunday 12 June at 7.30pm. Join us for this 2016 remake of the classic TV sitcom with an all-star cast including Michael Gambon, Bill Nighy and Caterine Zeta-Jones.
Tickets for ‘Dad’s Army’ cost just £4 for adults and £2 for children and are available now by calling 01652 618302 or on the door (subject to availability).
The films continue with:
  • ‘Wallace and Gromit – The Curse of the Were-Rabbit’ (PG), 6pm, Friday 24 June at Barnetby Village Hall
  • ‘The Lady in the Van’ (12A), Friday 8 July at Goxhill Memorial Hall
  • ‘Grimsby’ (18), 7pm, Friday 15 July at Barnetby Village Hall
For tickets for ‘Wallace and Gromit’ and ‘Grimsby’, please contact Barnetby Community Club on 01652 680925 or 01652 680683.
If your village hall or community group is interested in screening a film in your rural community, there’s still time for you to get involved with the FilmLincs scheme, which will run until spring 2017. For more information, please contact Arts Development Officer, Chelsey Everatt, onchelsey.everatt@northlincs.gov.uk or call 01724 297277.
Coun Carl Sherwood, from Brigg, Cabinet member for Health and Wellbeing at North Lincolnshire Council, said: “For those that live in our rural communities it can be difficult to get out to the cinema often. The FilmLincs project aims to address that issue and instead brings the cinema out to our smaller towns and villages! If you want to organise a screening in your local community centre or village hall, get in touch and find out how the FilmLincs project can help you.”
The FilmLincs Rural Cinema Scheme is possible thanks to funding from the British Film Institute’s Neighbourhood Cinema Fund and North Lincolnshire Council.
