Letchworth FilmClub
Letchworth FilmClub is run by local volunteers who enjoy quality movies in the friendly and informal atmosphere of Broadway Cinema. The club operates independently of the cinema. The FilmClub puts on an annual season of twelve films between September and June. The programme is financed by membership subscriptions, ticket sales and a grant from the Arts Council for North Hertfordshire, which is gratefully acknowledged. Letchworth FilmClub membership entitles you to entry to all the club’s films plus: Films are shown at 7:45pm on Sunday evenings (usually the first Sunday of the month).
