Unique silent film experiences

Our unique programme celebrates cinema. Every screening, we’ll introduce the film with a talk highlighting the film’s importance, context and style.

See what’s on this spring below.

Sherlock Jr (U) + talk

The Buster Keaton classic, presented with live organ accompaniment.

Considered one of his finest films, Sherlock Jr shows Keaton pushing the limits of visual effects as well as working in some impressive vaudeville routines. The screening will be preceded by a short talk about the film. We are pleased to welcome Michael Wooldridge to the Thorngate Halls to accompany the film on the newly renovated Compton theatre organ.

Thursday 12th March 2026, 7.30pm at Thorngate Halls, Bury Road, Gosport, PO12 3QX

You can book tickets for all films on EventBrite, or buy them on the door (we can take payment by card or cash).

For those who regularly use Eventbrite for tickets, the site is changing the way they deliver tickets and these will now need to be accessed via the Eventbrite app (or by logging in to the Eventbrite website), rather than being emailed to you as a PDF. Do rest assured however, we will always have a list at our “box office” of those who have purchased tickets from Eventbrite and we can check you off our list at the door if there are any issues. 

We hope to see you at one of our upcoming screenings. Thank you so much for supporting your local community cinema!
