I read it as ?7.50 per ticket (in advance) + a ?0.50 postage fee per order. So ?8 for 1 ticket, ?15.50 for two, ?23.00 for three, etc. ?10 per ticket at the gate, as you say.

Ive cast my vote and looks like we will be going.. YAY!! I dont think ?7.50 is too steep at all.. I love an outdoor cinema and its one of the things I miss from Australia as they have some gorgeous outdoor cinemas and trust me even with the conversion rate it still costs a hell of a lot more than ?7.50 to go to one of them there..

No offence but where have all of you been that you think ?7.50 is steep to go to the cinema? it is ?8.50 to go to the Ritzy on a Friday night and it doesn't have any of the charm that being in the park will.... I think that represents good value, especially as it is a small, local company, who we should all want to support.


I have voted for some like it hot as it is my favorite film of all time..... although I would watch any of them with joy!

Hey George,

Couldn't find any info on the website stating whether you would have seats available for those of us who aren't able (or can't be bothered ;) to bring picnic stuff with us.


I think this is a great idea, I shall definitely be there (as long as the film will be Breakfast or Some like it Hot).


I voted for Breakfast (although I own two copies of the film) because I would love to see Audrey on the big screen in all her glory at the beginning of the film in the Givenchy dress!!!


Hey, here's an idea, why don't you scrap the postage charge & allow people to collect their tickets on the day as long as they have proof of sale?

Can't remember the name of the burger place that used to be next to Liquorish before the place that's there now, but they used to have koyanisqaatsi on their screen on a loop :)


Edited to remove typo - what a saddo I am :)

You can always go to the park for free and watch it on a laptop (if you feel the need to be outdoors whilst watching a movie). There is nothing stopping you! Personally, I think Cinema is too expensive in general, and ?8.50 for the Ritzy on a Friday is a joke! As for popcorn and coke at ?6.50... Don't get me started!!

There's nothing like someone offering something a bit novel for the area to bring all the moaning minnies out.

"It's too expensive", "ooh, the films aren't the latest..", "a postage fee? how dare they."


Love the idea of occasional screenings in the park, great way to enjoy a classic in a lovely setting.


Don't like the films? Think it's too expensive? Fine. But why feel the need to waste your life telling people on a forum? (yes, I now too fall into that category, thanks a bunch)

Is EDF a secret hideaway for fans of Koyaanisqatsi? I've seen Philip Glass play an accompanied screening twice, and both times were, frankly, life-changing. Hard to appreciate what a revolutionary film it was in 82. Did you know director G Reggio is a trappist monk [and he was then too]?
Wombat why shouldn't people voice opinions? I think it's a lovely idea, I like the films, and there's a good chance I'll go, but I think it's a bit expensive for what it is. Why shouldn't I or anyone else say that, just as people who disagree will waste their lives disagreeing. For the record, if I wasn't posting I'd only be wasting my life doing paperwork.

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
