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]

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.
Doors open for the cinema at 7pm and the film starts at 7.30pm
