On Friday 15th May, we will screen H is for Hawk (2026: Cert 12A: 115mns) an emotional drama based on a true story and best-selling book. Directed by Philippa Lowthorpe, it stars Claire Foy, Brendan Gleeson, Lindsay Duncan, Denise Gough and Sam Spruell.

Following her father’s sudden death, a Cambridge professor (Helen) grieves by recalling memories of their time together birdwatching and exploring the natural world. She turns to the ancient art of falconry, training a wild goshawk named Mabel to navigate her profound loss. But as Helen teaches Mabel to hunt and fly free, she discovers how deeply she has neglected her own emotions and life. What begins as an act of endurance transforms into an intimate journey of resilience and healing.

“This is a warmly emotional film that avoids even a hint of sentimentality” Rich Cline, Shadows On The Wall

“Foy pulls through in every sense. She gives a remarkable performance — unshowy, precise and powerful.”  Tom Shone, The Sunday Times

Our 2025/26 season closes on Friday 19th June with the multi-award nominated and winning drama, HAMNET (2025: Cert 12A: 126mns), a powerful story of love and loss, directed by Chloé Zhao, starring Jessie Buckley, Paul Mescal, Emily Watson and Joe Alwyn.

Young William Shakespeare meets and falls for the free-spirited Agnes. Their whirlwind romance leads to marriage and three children, but as Will’s theatrical ambitions draw him to London, Agnes remains behind in Stratford to manage the household. When tragedy strikes their bond is deeply tested – but their journey through grief inspires the creation of Shakespeare’s timeless masterpiece, Hamlet.

“Hamnet is a technical, artistic, intellectual, and emotional feast.” Michael Ordoña, The Wrap

“Zhao doesn’t just tell you about the healing power of art, she shows you. Prepare your tear ducts accordingly.” Philip De Semlyen, Time Out
