Silkscreen Film Society features a programme of selected films designed to offer members the chance to regularly see a range of high quality, original works which normally never feature in other cinemas.

Films are shown fortnightly in our auditorium – twice a night, normally at 5.30pm and 8pm, to accommodate all members.

Each film is introduced by a short talk from a member.

The season also usually includes a ‘short film’ evening and an evening talk about some aspect of film, and the AGM is held each March.

Project Inc. exists to promote and provide Inclusive, Creative Learning for 11-19 year olds. Our permanent bases are within local Arts and Heritage buildings, for a contextualised experience. This allows for an alternative approach that supports personal/social development. We strive to ensure no young person is isolated due to disadvantage and additional need, but has a place and an outlet for creativity and learning, that allows for raising of aspirations, self-value and connecting with community and place.

Our Mission leverages Social and Creative Capital in the North of England, to house and facilitate Creative Learning Provisions for our young people requiring an alternative approach to reach potential, destinations in education, employment and widen life choices.
