Word from the Royston Picture Palace

Wow, what a great selection of films we have for you in March, with Award winners and nominated films filling the schedule. We start with Stephen Daldry’s impressive Trash, the story of two Brazilian boys who find something intriguing in the rubbish. Our Children’s Saturday Matinee sees Tinkerbell befriend the Netherbeast in a film for all the family. You won’t want to miss Foxcatcher with career defining performances from Steve Carrell and Channing Tatum; and BAFTA award winner JK Simmons the talking point in the thrilling Whiplash.

After its phenomenal success we just had to give you another chance to see Theory of Everything on Friday 20th March, and the highly acclaimed Selma the day after. And what could be better to finish the month off than the highly anticipated Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

We truly appreciate your support, and thank you for making the Picture Palace the success that it is.

The Royston Picture Palace Story

An initiative emerged in 2009 to re-introduce cinema to Royston. Royston Town Council refurbished the building whilst the town’s business, via Royston First, provided the cinema equipment.

Of course, introducing 21st century technology into a Victorian building was no mean feat, but in the summer of 2013 the Royston Picture Palace opened its doors to much acclaim.

The Royston Picture Palace is run by volunteers and performances take place on Friday and Saturday evenings, and occasional Saturday matinees, providing excellent value, quality entertainment for local people, just a few weeks after main release dates.

Tickets £7.50 Concessions £5.50
