It’s a relaxed, cheerful space to unwind, meet others, and enjoy the magic of cinema together. Free entry, with refreshments provided — everyone is warmly invited.
Billy Elliot is an inspiring British drama set during the 1984 miners’ strike, following 11‑year‑old Billy, who unexpectedly discovers a passion for ballet. While his community expects him to box, Billy finds joy, freedom, and a sense of self in dance. With the support of his determined ballet teacher—and against the worries of his struggling family—Billy learns to follow his heart in the face of tradition and hardship. A moving, funny, and uplifting story about courage, belonging, and the power of pursuing your dreams.
