Apologies to anyone who came along for today’s screening.

Unfortunately, we had to cancel today’s film at short notice, and although we contacted the people who had booked, we made the mistake of not putting a wider notice out on Facebook and our other channels.

As a result, some people turned up today expecting to see the film and were understandably disappointed to find that it had been cancelled. We’re really sorry to anyone who made the journey, only to be turned away.

This was our mistake, and we apologise for the inconvenience and disappointment caused. We’ll make sure we communicate any future cancellations more widely so this doesn’t happen again.

Thank you for your understanding. ❤️
