We’re going to holding a very special screening on Saturday the 20th December at a secret location of a fabulous Christmas movie!

The location will remain secret until we arrive there after a bus trip with Paul Nash Travel. All we can say is that the location is a stunning place which will get everyone into the Christmas mood! And the film will leave us all happy and merry!

We did this in September as part of our Festival and we had a great night screening Groundhog Day at All Saints Church in Clonbur. Few pics of it here.

Spaces are extremely limited and are on sale now, so if you’re interested in going, book early!

We will be getting the bus from outside the cathedral, from the bus car park to the left of the Salmon Weir Bridge and the bus will be leaving at 6.30pm sharp!

Tickets €15, buy yours here.

Jameson Cult Film Club Screening

November 14, 2014

Last night we were really delighted to attend the Jameson Cult Film Club Screening of Friday 13th 2 in Black Box Theatre in Galway.

The film was so much fun and had a good few nice jumpy scares in it, the live re-enactments of the film scenes were brilliant as was the set design! We knew right from the start that we were all doomed!

It definitely makes such a difference, watching a film with a live audience! We were given lots of tasty complimentary drinks and fed lovely burgers to top it all off. Can’t wait for another event!
