When a family tragedy brings her back to Ireland, she finds herself absorbed into her old community, but now with eligible Jim (Domhnall Gleeson) courting her.

STEVE JOBS CAST: Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Roge, Jeff Daniels Set backstage at three iconic product launches and ending in 1998 with the unveiling of the iMac, Steve Jobs takes us behind the scenes of the digital revolution to paint an intimate portrait of the brilliant man at its epicenter. Steve Jobs is directed by Academy Award® winner Danny Boyle and written by Academy Award® winner Aaron Sorkin, working from Walter Isaacson’s bestselling biography of the Apple founder. The producers are Mark Gordon, Guymon Casady of Film 360, Scott Rudin and Academy Award® winner Christian Colson.

BROOKLYN CAST: Saoirse Ronan, Domhnall Gleeson, Emory Cohen, Jim Broadbent, Julie Walters
Brooklyn is the story of a young woman, Eilis (Saoirse Ronan) who moves from small town Ireland to Brooklyn, NY where, unlike home, she has the opportunity for work and for a future - and love, in the form of Italian-American Tony (Emory Cohen).
BY THE SEA CAST: Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie Pitt, Mélanie Laurent, Melvil Poupaud, Niels Arestrup and Richard Bohringer By the Sea follows an American writer named Roland (Pitt) and his wife, Vanessa (Jolie Pitt), who arrive in a tranquil and picturesque seaside resort in 1970s France, their marriage in apparent crisis. As they spend time with fellow travelers, including young newlyweds Lea (Laurent) and François (Poupaud), and village locals Michel (Arestrup) and Patrice (Bohringer), the couple begins to come to terms with unresolved issues in their own lives. In its style, and its treatment of themes of the human experience, By the Sea is inspired by European cinema and theatre of the ‘60s and ‘70s.
CRIMSON PEAK CAST: Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Tom Hiddleston, Charlie Hunnam and Jim Beaver When her heart is stolen by a seductive stranger, a young woman is swept away to a house atop a mountain of blood-red clay: a place filled with secrets that will haunt her forever. Between desire and darkness, between mystery and madness, lies the truth behind Crimson Peak.

Market Walk’s summer success CHORLEY’S Market Walk is celebrating after latest footfall figures revealed the shopping centre had one of its busiest summers.
Family summer activities and holiday sales meant the Chorley Council-owned shopping mall saw a footfall increase of customers visiting with a record of over 90,000 people that visited the shopping centre during the final week in August.
Councillor Peter Wilson, Deputy Leader of Chorley Council said: “At a time when national retail figures are dipping, it’s remarkable how much the footfall figures have increased at Market Walk over the summer.” “The improvements the council has made since we took over ownership nearly two years ago have shown a great amount of difference and we are getting a lot of positive feedback from the public and local businesses.”
Since Chorley Council took over the management and running of Market Walk shopping centre in November 2013 a number of improvements have been made to attract more shoppers and businesses to the area.
“One of our main priorities as a local authority is to have a vibrant town centre and by making improvements and providing entertainment, activities and events we want to ensure we are doing all we can to attract more businesses and boost the local economy.”
During the summer school holidays, the council organised lots of free family activities in the shopping centre with our ‘Fun Thursday’ to help parents keep the younger ones entertained and to create a fun family atmosphere in the shopping centre.
Plans are already in place to bring in more attractions and activities in the coming months, including some Halloween fun during the October school holiday and lots of festive fun in the run up to Christmas as well as hosting the giant 100-foot Ferris wheel.
Additionally, new seating and planters have been added and the centre has undertaken a more vigorous cleaning regime to make it more welcoming to visitors. As a result there is only one vacant unit - shortly to be filled - and our other vacant unit which is being retained for use as a pop-up shop.
To keep up-to-date with activities and events at Market Walk Chorley, visit marketwalkchorley. co.uk, like Market Walk Chorley on Facebook or follow @MWChorley on Twitter.

The Hall is set within the beautiful surroundings of Astley Park which include historic woodland, a lake, a fully renovated Victorian walled garden alongside clean and modern facilities for visitors to enjoy. The Hall is perhaps best known for its stunning Jacobean plasterwork ceilings and the house is built around an internal Elizabethan courtyard. The four wings of the house were extended by the families who lived here and most of the original features are retained to this day. The walled garden is a dedicated event space and since the Heritage Lottery funded renovation project in 2009 it has built up a varied programme of cultural events throughout the year. The east facing part of the walled garden is home to a community food growing project and includes a small orchard alongside raised beds full of vegetables, fruits, herbs and salads. Much of the produce is used by Café Ambio, the onsite café within the Coach House building. Café Ambio is open 7 days a week. The team are passionate about locally sourced homemade food, freshly baked scones, cakes, quality coffees and refreshments. Phone: 01257 515151
