The Fun Family Film Club

The I Love West Leeds Festival has teamed up with Armley Mills and Find Your Talent to produce a new monthly family film club, on the last Sunday of each month, screening at what is possibly the sweetest little cinema in the region.

Imagine the Hyde Park Cinema (if you have ever had the good fortune to go there) popped in the washing machine on a boil wash and you will end up with the 25 seater red plush cinema that sits inside Armley Mills!

Our screenings are aimed at families and only the grown ups pay to get in so they are not only great fun but also really affordable.
