Recent performances at Sheepstor and Newton Ferrers have been sold out, so it may be worth buying your ticket in advance.

A Cottage on Dartmoor is a thriller of love, jealousy and hairdressing. Made in 1929 by the young Anthony Asquith, this film explores the latest craze to have been hitting the cinemas; the talkies. One of the last silent films to be made, this is early British cinema at its best.

Please Note: The film will be screened at  7.30pm. There will be no matinee performance. However the evening screening will have sub-titles.

All welcome. Tickets available on the door, Adults £4, Under 16’s £3.
