National TV station Talking Pictures TV will hold another special weekend of their Festival of Film and TV Road Shows this weekend at the Hebden Bridge Picture House. An impressive line-up of celebrity entertainers will appear over the weekend together with a team of George Formby Society players that have been invited along with GFS President Andrew Poppleton to appear twice during Saturday’s event. The dates for this event are this weekend, the 19th and 20th October 2024. I believe that all seats downstairs in the cinema are now sold but there are tickets available in the Circle. The Hebden Bridge Picture House opened its doors in 1921. Originally boasting over 900 seats, its first screening was a double bill of Torn Sails and The Iron Stair. The venue became the main place of entertainment for the weavers, mill-workers, and other residents of Hebden Bridge and the upper Calder Valley and has been in continuous use as a cinema to the present day.
