Paula Stott Chair of HFS said that “We have always prided ourselves on our high quality, varied programme of films, we have offered in Harrogate. Now by teaming up with the Odeon, we are able to ensure the full cinematic experience.”
During lockdown viewing films at home became very important for very many people.
But the film society believes that nothing beats the experience of viewing a good film, on a big screen, with surround sound and in the company of others, nothing matches the magic of the cinema lights dimming, the curtains being drawn back and waiting to be transported, in time, space and place.

He said “Myself and the team here at the Odeon can’t wait to do what we do best, which is to welcome our guests, provide personal service and make them feel special.
"Part of this making people fell special is providing 4 socials a year, with wine and nibbles and up to 4 Film Club discussions with tea and biscuits.
"All of this for £45 membership fee or £5 per individual screening ticket."
