Word from the Royston Picture Palace

Hi all and a warm welcome to another fantastic line up of films here at the Royston Picture Palace.

I’m sure you will agree no need for multiplex when the best movies are local.

We kick December off with breathtaking performances from Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard in Macbeth, with the Minions back for our kids matinee. There’s a lot of awards buzz surrounding our Sunday film Brooklyn, with Saoirse Ronan hotly tipped to feature when they dish out the gongs.

His name is Bond, James Bond, and you have five chances to catch Daniel Craig in the latest 007, Spectre, but hurry as these performances are selling fast. Into the New Year Paddington gets us in a fun frame of mind for the January matinee, with Carey Mulligan quite outstanding in the eagerly awaited Suffragette.

Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara star in the must see Carol, and you won’t want to miss the final installment of the Hunger Games films Mockingjay Part 2. And that’s not all, wrapping up our bumper schedule Tom Hanks as remarkable as ever stars in the compelling Bridge of Spies.

Once again we thank you for your continued support and trust that you enjoy the festive season, and have a successful and prosperous 2016.
