TANSLEY FILM Community Cinema

Updated 25th March 2025

We show films twice per month,from September to May (or later), on the third Tuesday evening and on the first Sunday, in our cinema in Tansley Village Hall in Church Street, Tansley near Matlock in Derbyshire. It is run by volunteers, on a not-for-profit basis, for the community to enjoy.

We show mainstream films on the Tuesdays and National Theatre Live Encore filmed plays or other films, often World Cinema, on the Sundays.

Seats are booked online paying by card at Ticket Source.

For standard films, seats are £4 (plus fees). For NT Live Encore filmed plays seats are £10 (plus fees).

With online booking you pay by card choosing your exact seat. You can cancel your booking yourself if you need to. You don't need to bring your e-ticket, just tell us at the door who you are. Walk-ins are welcome paying cash at the door. Anyone who cannot book online is welcome to walk-in or email book@tansleyfilm.org.uk asking us to reserve seats for them. They then pay cash at the door. The charge at the door is £5 for standard films and £11 for NT Live filmed plays.

Our cinema has around 80 comfortable, upholstered seats and is cosy, warm and friendly. The venue has a hearing loop that we utilise effectively. Wheelchairs can be accommodated. A spacious, unisex toilet with mobility aids is located opposite row 4.

We have ultra-high-definition projection (4K) on a 3.5 metre wide screen and rich surround sound.

Our film programme comprises nine films. All the films are recent, usually on general release for under a year before we show them. We publicise a few films before we show one rather than naming all nine, to keep the choice current and to ensure that they are available.

Our films are classified by The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC). We publicise film classifications on this web site and in other publicity material. While we welcome children, we restrict admission according to their age as stipulated by a film's classification of U, PG, 12A, 15 or 18. We will not admit a child under 8. If we are in doubt about any child's age we will refuse entry. All children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult (18 or over).
