These landmark screenings will take place in the Commemoration Hall (39 High Street, Huntingdon) the venue being the heart of Arts and Entertainment in Huntingdon town centre. Renowned for being a community-based facility BID are delighted to work in partnership for these screenings to take place.

We hope to see businesses and communities support the screenings that are offered free with thanks to the generous funding support of the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Combined Authority, DCMS and the UK Government”.
