The Cinema Club takes place on the first Thursday of the month at the Finsbury
Park PictureHouse. They usually start early afternoon. We choose the film from
the ones offered on the PictureHouse website about nine days before. It’s £9.99.
We usually have a chat about the film beforehand. Either James or Michele is
there to help if you need it. James always emails members a week before to let
them know what the film is.
Reminder – The cafe on Ducketts Common is now open from 7am to 7pm seven
days a week. The toilet is in the café is a public toilet. So, you don’t need to buy
anything to use it (but it’s probably a good idea to ask).
