Now that the cinema has reopened we can’t wait to get on with some of our plans. We thought we would start with building up our team of online supporters and reviewers. Seen a good film lately?  Why not contribute a short review for our Facebook page or website? Hated a film? Tell us anyway!  Or let us know if you have an interesting piece of history or anecdote involving the Hyde Park Picture House. You can get in touch via the Contact Us form.  

Another of our priorities is outreach to local communities, and introducing people and organisations you may know to the the life of the Hyde Park Picture House. Tell us your ideas…

We would also like to be involved in putting on social events, discussions, quizzes, and special screenings; helping with cataloguing the Picture House archive; and commissioning a mural on the exterior back wall of the cinema (in Pearson Grove). But our activity depends on you, our members.

We will be discussing ideas and next steps at the Friends Annual General Meeting. The provisional date is on the afternoon of Sunday September 24th 2023 at the Hyde Park Picture House, we hope to confirm these details soon. You’ll need to (re)join the Friends in order to attend because any extended memberships from before the closure will come to an end before the AGM starts.
