To celebrate The Artist coming to Letchworth Garden City, this is your chance to win a copy of Bryony Dixon’s ‘100 silent films’ and a pair of tickets to see The Artist at Broadway Cinema.

To enter:

Our team is very happy to announce that The Artist will be hitting our screens from Friday 17th February. Demand for the silent film began as far back as November last year, so it is great news all round.

The Artist is set in Hollywood, 1927. Silent movie star George Valentin is one of the biggest stars in Hollywood who wonders if the arrival of talking pictures will cause him to fade into oblivion. As George Valentin’s world is turned upside down, he sparks with Peppy Miller, a young dancer set for a big break.

To celebrate the release of Steven Spielberg’s War Horse, we're giving you the chance to win an extract from Michael Morpurgo’s Warhorse in our latest Facebook competition

Last month we had two Arthur Christmas goody bags to give away so, accordingly we held two competitions; our regular monthly competition along with a special Facebook competition. Congratulations to Louise and Neil for successfully winning the competitions respectively!

The beeb was the place to be on Wednesday night!

Our very own Broadway Cinema Team, including Ollie Thompson (above) featured on a brand new BBC One show on Wednesday (14 December) which investigated the things in modern Britain that drive us all mad. Angela Rippon starred as a guest presenter for an episode of ‘That’s Britain’, working at our traditional Box Office serving customers face-to-face comparing it to online bookings, filmed back in October.

Congratulations to Sharon McCafferty for winning September’s competition!

We asked “In ‘The Adventures of Tintin’, what is the name Tintin's dog?” for a chance for one lucky applicant to win a 12 month subscription to Empire magazine. Sharon had her name pulled from a hat from over 200 entrants after she correctly answered “Snowy” to this month's question to win the prize.

This Thursday, (6 October) former BBC News presenter Angela Rippon will be working at our cinema as part of a new primetime BBC 1 series.

The show, to air during November and December, investigates whether the many modern systems designed to save us time and money actually make our lives any better or are just infuriatingly difficult to use. We offer a traditional Box Office telephone service, a practice almost resigned to the history books, and was happy to get involved with the programme.

Over 300 people got the chance to go behind-the-scenes of a traditional working picture house last weekend (Friday 9 to Sunday 11 September) as we put on special tours as part of our 75th birthday celebrations.
