TETBURY FILM SOCIETY Tetbury Film Society's season runs from September to April. We show films in the Dolphins Hall and all our screenings are on Wednesdays. See the FILMS page for details of the programme, including dates. Each year we put together a mixed programme of nine films for members and casual visitors (we like to think of them all as members-to-be) to share. Film can be powerful, magical, challenging, comforting, informative and joyous. What we look for is a varied programme of great films that people might not otherwise get to see, films that need to be shared and talked about, films to warm the heart, films that need to be seen on a big screen, and films that are just a joy to watch. Join us for the whole season, or just come along when you can to watch a film together.
Tetbury Film Society is accepting new members and renewals for the new season, which will start in September 2023.
Membership is by annual subscription and the rate for the new season is £27.
Your subscription gives you entry to nine films every season.
That works out at only £3 per film. On a BIG screen, with proper surround sound, and shared with an audience who just love great films. Sold? Find a membership form here.
If you don't want to join, or just want to see a particular film, we are always happy to welcome guests (non members), paying £6 per film at the door.
Tetbury Film Society screenings are at the Dolphins Hall in Tetbury.
We have a large screen, high quality projector and Dolby surround sound system to show brilliant films at their best.
We would like to thank all our loyal members who continue to subscribe every year, helping us bring great films to Tetbury. Our particular thanks also go to the Dolphins Hall Trustees for their ongoing support.
The society has been a member of the British Federation of Film Societies (AKA Cinema For All) since opening in 1999.
We are happy to have HM The Queen Consort as our patron.
A long-standing aim of Tetbury Film Society has been to co-operate with and assist local organisations and institutions. For many years we have held an annual fund raiser film screening for each of Longfield Hospice and Tetbury Hospital, raising thousands of pounds.
We are also pleased to support other charitable and community organisations in the town (the Feoffees, Tetbury in Bloom, Tetbury Lions etc) and we have made our equipment available for them to use on many occasions.
All screenings will be held on Wednesday evenings at the Dolphins Hall, New Church St, Tetbury, GL8 8DS
There is limited free car parking available.
Doors open at 7.00 pm, screening begins at 7.30 pm, bring your friends or even your family!
Each season, we also hold extra screenings as fundraising events, e.g. for our local hospital and hospice, for which tickets are sold separately.
The certificates shown are as listed on the BBFC website.
We do have to abide by age restrictions imposed, so we ask our audience to take note of the certificates assigned. If you have any queries relating to the certificate of any film being shown, please feel free to contact us.
