Saturday morning was the best day of the week. No school and Saturday Morning Pictures. Several hundred screaming children gathered together in their local cinema for a morning of cowboys, cartoons and competitions. Everything from The Three Stooges to Superman, Old Mother Riley to Captain Marvel. Sylvester the Cat, sing-alongs, and choc ices from the Lady with the Tray. Not to mention the grumpy Commissionaire with his torch bellowing at boisterous boys and giggling girls to ‘Keep it down!’ and ‘Stop chucking that orange peel!’

The Cinema Museum offers a nostalgic trip down movie memory lane with a faithful recreation of a typical Saturday Morning at the Pictures from the 1950s complete with shorts, cliff hanging serials, cartoons and audience participation.

Our cafe will be open for coffees, teas, cakes and pastries – not to mention those choc ices!

Doors open at 09.00 for a 10.00 start, and the event is expected to finish by 12.30.
