All time classics and family favourite films on the big screen in Peterborough

For more than 50 years the historic building now housing The Broadway theatre was for thousands of film lovers The Odeon.

It opened in 1937, became a three-screen cinema in the 1970s and closed in 1991.

When Peter Boizot reopened The Broadway complex in 2001 movies returned briefly- and when the current operators of the venue took over in September 2017 it was always the plan to bring back film in a big way - and that all begins next month.

Harrison Fuller, Theatre Manager: “The theatre opened in 1937 as a cinema, we’re hoping that the selection of films will gather interest. We have some classics and family favourites something for everybody.

“This won’t be a one-off thing, we’re looking to do other cinema events in the future. It’s another service we can now offer to people that wish to hire the cinema out and enjoy the space exclusively as well.”
