Thornbury Picture House believes that a good film deserves to be seen on a large screen with good sound and in the presence of a sizeable audience to build the atmosphere and heighten the emotions.

You can watch films at home any time, but watching on a local wide screen is an altogether different experience.

Non-members are very welcome.

Patrons who are not paid-up members of TPH, and guests of members, may purchase tickets, subject to availability, at the desk on club nights' priced at £5.00. Admission is subject to the Film Classification Certificate.

Have you ever wanted to leave the car at home and walk to a local film venue, one with a warm friendly atmosphere, where you can chat about the film afterwards with your friends?

We did, so we decided to create a film club: Our club name, Thornbury Picture House (TPH) , was inspired by the old cinema (1919-1959) in the High Street, which was renowned for being the social hub of Thornbury. We are now looking forward to our 6th season, just take a look at our current programme and we have a strong membership base to take the club forward. We meet usually once a month, for the last 2 years in the historic Cossham Hall, Chapel Street, Thornbury, BS35 2BJ.

Email us at films@thornburypicturehouse.org if you have a comment or suggestion for the committee.

The film which received the most votes in the Members' Choice ballot was the winner of 3 Oscars, Best Foreign Language film, Best Music and Best Actor in a leading role, "Life is Beautiful" will be shown in the Cossham Hall on 15 June 2012.

The film to be shown on Friday May 25th at 7.30pm is a gem of a film, "Submarine".  Set in 1980's Britain, 15 year old Oliver (Craig Roberts) is deeply serious yet prone to wild fantasy; in the real world he has two aims, to conquer his lovely classmate and to save his parents' marriage. Craig Roberts won the London Critics Circle Film Award for Young British Performer of the Year and Richard Ayoade the BAFTA for Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer.
