Carnage - Showing at The Oundle Cinema Tonight!
Don't miss tonights film at The Oundle Cinema - Carnage (15)
In Brooklyn Bridge Park, eleven year old Zachary Cowan strikes his eleven year old classmate Ethan Longstreet across the face with a stick after an argument. Among the more serious of Ethan's injuries is a permanently missing tooth and the possibility of a second tooth also being lost. Their respective parents learn of the altercation through Ethan's parents questioning him about his injuries. The Longstreet parents invite the Cowan parents to their Brooklyn apartment to deal with the incident in a civilized manner. They are: Penelope Longstreet, whose idea it was to invite the Cowans, she whose priorities in life include human rights and justice; Michael Longstreet, who tries to be as accommodating as possible to retain civility in any situation; Nancy Cowan, a nervous and emotionally stressed woman; and Alan Cowan, who is married more to his work as evidenced by the attachment he has to his cell phone and taking work calls at the most inopportune times...
All films start at 7:45pm, with doors opening at 7:15pm for ticket sales. This makes the cinema ideal for a great evening out - why not pop into our bar or eatery for a meal, few drinks or a snack with friends before taking a very short walk down the road to the cinema?
Tickets are just £5, with under 18s only £3.

Halloween at The Talbot

This Halloween we have a real treat in store! In aid of local charities with The Rotary Club of Oundle, we are planning a very scary ghost walk throughout Oundle, exploring all of Oundle's murky past, hosted by the one and only John Lilyman, an expert in the towns history and spirits.
After the walk, you will be guided to our Whitwell Room for ghost stories by the fire, as well as some tempting drinks and snacks. It promises to be a spine-tingling night!
Tickets will be available soon at The Talbot Hotel, but will be very limited to ensure our guests get the best and scariest experience.Watch this space for more details so you can grab yours as soon as they are available.

The Artist - Showing at The Oundle Cinema Tonight!
Don't miss tonights film at The Oundle Cinema - The Artist (PG).
Outside a movie premiere, enthusiastic fan Peppy Miller literally bumps into the swashbuckling hero of the silent film, George Valentin. The star reacts graciously and Peppy plants a kiss on his cheek as they are surrounded by photographers. The headlines demand: "Who's That Girl?" and Peppy is inspired to audition for a dancing bit-part at the studio. However as Peppy slowly rises through the industry, the introduction of talking-pictures turns Valentin's world upside-down.
All films start at 7:45pm, with doors opening at 7:15pm for ticket sales. This makes the cinema ideal for a great evening out - why not pop into our bar or eatery for a meal, few drinks or a snack with friends before taking a very short walk down the road to the cinema?
