A cinema will be re-opening in Llandovery.

This Saturday, October 26, marks a significant cultural milestone for Llandovery with the grand reopening of Llandovery Cinema.

The event, at the Rhys Prichard Memorial Hall, starts at 6pm with the Humanity Day Gathering, an informal chat about education, community well-being, and the environment.

People are encouraged to bring a dish to share.

A short film, #ForNature, by climate activist Greta Thunberg and directed by Tom Mustill, will also be shown.

This five-minute film looks at the link between animal agriculture and the climate crisis, ending with a call for global change.

Humanity Day is part of a worldwide initiative, bringing people together to think about how to create a better, more sustainable future.

At 7pm, the cinema officially reopens with a special screening of Casablanca.

Set in wartime Morocco, this Academy Award-winning film, starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman, explores themes of love, duty, and sacrifice.

It remains one of the most celebrated films in history, and this screening promises to be a magical experience for both first-time and returning viewers.

Llandovery Community Cinema wants to enrich the town’s cultural landscape by providing affordable and inclusive entertainment for residents of all ages.

This is supported by the Rural Futures Programme and the National Lottery Community Fund.

Film nights are planned throughout 2024-2025, with the aim of making Llandovery Cinema a vibrant hub for culture and entertainment.

The event is supported by Cinema for All, the BFI Film Institute, Film Forever, and the National Lottery Community Fund, as part of the Hybu Llanymddyfri – Llandovery Initiative.

The Humanity Day Gathering is in partnership with Learn with Grandma.

Tickets can be bought online or in person at LYCC for £5.

The venue offers wheelchair access (via three steps and a ramp), an accessible WC, and an induction loop for hearing support.
