The Folkestone Film Club meets every Thursday morning from 10:00am, to socialise and enjoy complimentary tea, coffee, and biscuits in our main screen, followed by a film at 11:00am.
Our doors open at 10:00am, and free tea, coffee, and biscuits are served until 10:50am. Please note that we charge for tea and coffee after 10:50am. The film starts promptly at 11:00am with no adverts, so please ensure you arrive early, especially if you would like to take advantage of our complimentary refreshments.
Each film in the programme is repeated in the smaller screen the following week, so you can catch up on any missed screenings. Spaces are limited for repeat screenings, so we recommend pre-booking or arriving early to avoid disappointment.
Seating is not allocated for Film Club shows. Tickets are available to book several weeks in advance for members, and one week in advance for non-members. After advance booking closes on the day, any remaining tickets are sold on on the door on a first-come-first-served basis.
