On September 25th the Riverside will be 110 years old and we would like you to join us on the evening of Saturday 27th to celebrate with a look back at film from the Riverside archive along with a few recently filmed interviews with Pat Betts, Stuart Saunders and Tina Wiseman.

Our current manager, Neil, and Technical assistant, Will, have for the past few years been working on researching the cinema’s history and collecting all the material together to make a book (available on the evening!), a documentary and a page on our website to record our history.

Tonight will be a special birthday celebration of our little cinema/theatre and we’d be delighted to share its past with you.
