At last a new chapter in the life of the Hyde Park Picture House begins!

The Friends are so pleased to see the huge positive response to the reopening. We love the way the character of our historic cinema has been preserved while offering us, as audiences, much better access (ramp, toilets, lift), a warm welcome, a new level of comfort, and a second screen (opening very soon). Well worth the wait. We look forward to seeing you there. 

The Friends continues to have a vital part to play in celebrating this heritage and promoting the work of the cinema. Our organisation is independent of the Hyde Park Picture House but we work very closely with their staff team.

We updated our membership arrangements this year. If you have not already (re)joined the Friends, please do so. Our annual membership fee is on a “pay what you decide” basis and you can find out How To Join here on our website.

You will be able to meet some of the Friends Committee at the Yorkshire Day screening of Brassed Off on Sunday 30th July at 1.30pm (we will be there from 1pm). There’s also going to be a Q&A with director Mark Herman, tickets are selling fast so book yours now if you haven’t already.
