Did you know Arnold in Nottingham has actually had three theatres over the years?

🏛️ Arnold’s first theatre was the St Albans Picturedrome, which opened in 1912.

🍿 It was followed by a larger cinema and theatre in 1929.

🎭 The Bonington Theatre opened inside Arnold Leisure Centre in 1982. Named after Arnold-born artist Richard Parkes Bonington, it continues Arnold’s long tradition of entertainment.

It seats 178 people, has a licensed bar, free evening parking, and even offers Tuesday films for just £5! 🎥

There are some brilliant shows coming up too, including:

✨ Hocus Pocus – an interactive family show where children can meet the actors.

🎸 Rebel Rebel – a tribute to David Bowie.

🌈 Visions of Floyd by Equinox.

In light of the recent passing of David Hockney (1937-2026), Exhibition on Screen have made 2017’s David Hockney at the Royal Academy of Arts available to watch.

From Exhibition On Screen company founder Phil Grabsky:

“Sad news of the death of a great artist – David Hockney. I think the term ‘great’ gets thrown about a bit liberally these days but Hockney, for me, is deserving of the plaudit. One of his paintings (a copy) was on the wall of my school so he has been a presence all of my life. I am delighted we got to make a film about and with him. A life lived to the full in art.”

*These screenings will take place in Arnold Library’s Meeting Room 1.

📣 Big news! 📣

The wonderful Nerina Pallot will be joining us in October as part of her Solo Tour - Fire Escape Symphonies

Tickets go on sale on Wednesday (17 June) from 10am!

Last year - as many of you know - I undertook my most extensive solo tour of Great Britain and Ireland. At times it felt never-ending - those times tended to coincide with whenever I was negotiating the junction of the M42 and M6 - but mostly it was life-affirming and joyous. I felt like I had purpose.

That tour was meant to be a path to what many of us consider the greatest venue in the land - The Royal Albert Hall - and I can now confirm, it is indeed the greatest venue in the land. However, during the course of the tour, I realised it was not a mere means to an end. No show was more important than the other. Every audience brought their own energy; their own stories - and every audience changed me, over and over, night after night.

It has been so weird not playing a show for almost six months, and as a result, when I got back on stage in Hay-on-Wye and then London last month, I realised I had not been myself at all. I hadn’t been well, that’s true, but that was compounded by getting into a rhythm of regular shows and then stopping it dead for half a year.

I sing, therefore I am.

So. I know I should be making another album, but I haven’t written enough good new songs to feel excited about getting back in the studio for the long haul. Right now, I just want to sing and play, that’s all I want to do and as I’ve been moping about insufferably since May 31st without a gig to go to, my long suffering agent Steve - the man, the myth, the legend - has duly obliged.

Listen. I can do fancy pants, and I plan on doing fancy pants again, don’t you worry. But I need to get back out to where I feel like I belong and that’s with you.

See you in the autumn.

ps. Tickets go on sale on Wednesday, 17th at 10.00 am

Happy to say that our projector is back up and running! To those customers who were prevented from seeing The Sheep Detectives this week, we have added a couple of catch-up screenings in July (Link in comments) 🐑🕵🏻

You may also have noticed that Children's ticket prices have come down. That's due to the Government's reduction on VAT for Child tickets from 20% to 5%, so 𝐰𝐞'𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮!

From the end of June through until September 1 2026, children's tickets for our screenings will be a touch cheaper than normal! Happy holidays! 🤩
