Stradbroke Sports & Community Centre is privileged to have a large screen, a high quality laser projector and surround sound system. This enables us to show high-definition quality films in the comfort of our own village and without travelling to one of the larger cinema studios further afield. Once a month we offer a recent or award winning movie for view to the public.

The bar is open from 7.00pm and again during the interval when ice creams are also available. Tickets are £6.00 each for adults and £3.50 for 16s and under. Please buy tickets online if you can, just go to the film page for the option to buy online.

All proceeds go towards the upkeep of the Community Centre. If you would like to suggest films for the future or help as a volunteer please contact Jane Merritt (01379 388382) or email [email protected]

 

 Our films for Spring 2024 are: 

Thursday 21st March – The Great Escaper (12A)

Click on the link to view the Film Trailer

In the summer of 2014 — the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings — octogenarian Bernie Jordan (Michael Caine) made global headlines. He’d staged a “great escape” from his care home to join fellow war veterans on a beach in Normandy, commemorating their fallen comrades. It was a story that captured the imagination of the world — Bernie seemed to embody the defiant, “can-do” spirit of a generation that was fast disappearing. But of course, it wasn’t the whole story. It was the story we all tell ourselves to make war and old age bearable. The bitter-sweet script explores the reality with wit and a very big heart. Bernie’s adventure, spanning a mere 48 hours, also marked the culmination of his 60-year marriage to Irene (Glenda Jackson) — the story celebrates their love without sentimentality and with an eye to the lessons we can all learn from the Greatest Generation.

Thursday 18th April – The Miracle Club (12)

Click on the link to view the Film Trailer

Set in 1967, THE MIRACLE CLUB is a heartwarming film that follows the story of three generations of close friends, Lily (Maggie Smith), Eileen (Kathy Bates), and Dolly (Agnes O’Casey) of Ballygar, a hard-knocks community in Dublin, who have one tantalising dream: to win a pilgrimage to the sacred French town of Lourdes, that place of miracles that draws millions of visitors each year. When the chance to win presents itself, the women seize it. However, just before their trip, their old friend Chrissie (Laura Linney) arrives in Ballygar for her mother’s funeral, dampening their good mood and well-laid plans. The women secure tickets and set out on the journey that they hope will change their lives, with Chrissie, a skeptical traveler, joining in place of her mother. The glamor and sophistication of Chrissie, who has just returned from a nearly 40-year exile in the United States, are not her only distancing traits: Old wounds are reopened along the way, forcing the women to confront their pasts even as they travel in search of a miracle. Their shared traumas can only be healed by the curative power of love and friendship.
