Prince Charles Cinema

Looking for a way to fill up those extra hours over the August Bank Holiday weekend? Use all that sweet time off to embark on one of the Prince Charles Cinema’s famous film marathons. This time around it’s Peter Jackson’s epic film franchise of JRR Tolkien’s Middle Earth adventures. Not only does this marathon feature all three of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ films played back-to-back, it begins with all three ‘Hobbit’ films – that’s a whopping 1260 minutes of otherwordly adventure. The screenings starts at 8pm on Sunday and finishes at 5:15pm on Monday. Think you can hack it? 

Spend your October in the dark – the dark theatres of Prince Charles Cinema, that is. In the run-up to Halloween, the beloved cinema is hosting ‘Gynophobia Season’, showcasing films that explore representations of monstrous women in horror. Before each movie – ‘Twins Of Evil’, ‘The House That Screamed’ and ‘Sisters’ – you’ll get an introduction to the film that will make you think about the social attitudes within each, and question how they reflect and challenge the culture and society of their time.
