A 'Celebration of Abbeygate Cinema' Fundraising Event...

Abbeygate Cinema is excited to announce a Celebration Event in aid of its fundraising efforts and a deferred Premier Screen Launch Event.

Guests will be invited to purchase tickets for a special screening of the popular big screen musical film, LA LA LAND, starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone to enjoy an evening of glitz and glamour on Saturday 25 September with drinks and canapes on arrival in the cinema’s stylish Foyer area moving through to the impressive new Premier Screen for the film.

Resident cinema legend, Pat Church, will be on hand to welcome and chat with guests who will be encouraged to dress smart for the occasion to bring a ‘Red Carpet’ feel to this special event.

The event will mark an official start to a three-month fundraising effort initiated by the cinema to help with raising money for the next part of its development which will include the much-needed WC facilities in the foyer. Regular visitors at the cinema will no doubt have seen the area allocated for this purpose and the beautiful architecture waiting to be sympathetically restored.

£10 tickets for this event will be available to purchase from Fri 10 Sep with the opportunity to donate more; all profits from the event will go towards the cinema’s fundraising project.

Gareth Boggis, the cinema’s General Manager, is enthusiastic to announce this next step in the cinema’s journey; ‘’Like many businesses, we have been through difficult and uncertain times in recent months but it’s with great excitement that we’re able to plan our next steps into the future.’’

He goes onto say, ‘’We have always been so grateful and humbled by the support of our customers and we hope that their commitment continues as we endeavour to raise some much-needed further aid through fundraising initiatives. We will be re-instating our Building Blocks fundraising project along with a special raffle with great prizes. So, keep an eye out for further information soon on how you can be involved.’’
