Ringstead Village Cinema meets at our Social Club to offer film screenings for our village community
The cinema provides an easily accessible, social event that is open to all. Villagers can meet and make new friends to enjoy film screenings in the relaxed, comfortable surroundings of our village social club. The club brings the enjoyment of the cinema directly to our village making this an activity than can be enjoyed by all and keeps our community connected and engaged, its one element of creating a lively, vibrant village life for everyone.
Why the community needs usBringing people together socially in the evening when they would not otherwise go out. It provides an affordable social activity with no travel costs. Meetings like this help to reduce social isolation, giving local people an inclusive meeting place that's on their doorstep.
Our impact on the communityThe film evenings have been popular and numbers have increased since the first film show. We aim to increase the size of audiences to more than the current average of 40 through continued advertising and word-of-mouth. We have installed screen and sound equipment. Success to date has encouraged us to start fund-raising for our own projector. We now have a 2nd projectionist. We can offer groups their own film night
We would welcome volunteer support to help with general maintenance. Our small team of volunteers have refurbished most of the exterior of the club and decoration of the toilets with donated fittings. The next major project is improving the kitchen.The Ringstead Community Group helped to tidy-up the garden areas after Christmas. During the warmer months the gardens will need regular attention and the paving slabs need re-laying. Please contact us if you can give a few hours.
