The speculation is over.  As revealed in the Harborough Mail and on HFM this week, St Mary’s Road is going to be the location of the Harborough Screen.  It is located on a piece of land that has been vacant since the Oriental cinema was demolished around 40 years ago.

It’s located between Goodmans Electrical and Kwik-Fit, opposite Vanilla Recruitment and It’s a Gas.

Work will begin clearing the site in the next few weeks.  It’s a three minute walk from the town centre, with plenty of access to nearby parking.

Harborough based security company Mannix Security have suggested a great idea for all members of the Harborough screen.

Most cinema’s have Orange Wednesday’s where you get 2 seats for the price of 1 if you are an Orange customer. The Harborough Screen is going to offer 2 seats for the price of 1 for all cinema members on a Monday.  This will be called Mannix Monday.

So as well as £400 worth of discounts, 10% savings on all goods plus free tickets members will get 2 for 1 tickets every Monday. What are you waiting for!   Join up today to make the Harborough Screen happen.

Some people have said that they would like to join the cinema but £100 is too much for a family membership. It’s worth pointing out that all membership levels come with:

Discount vouchers for a host of local shops and restaurants such as Toro Latino, The Angel, The 3 Swanns, IR Symitry North, Duncan Murray Wines, The Oathill, Davinici and many others worth over £400 £500.

2 for the price of 1 admission on Monday’s on our Mannix Monday’s for members only.  If a family of 4 was to visit the Harborough screen once a month on a Monday using this members only promotion, they would save over £588 in one year on ticket prices alone compared to visiting one of our nearest (15 miles away) multiplexes.  Plus a saving of around £180 on petrol.

Plus drinks, popcorn and sweets are cheaper anyway – but members also gain a further 10% discount on all purchases

So you will get your membership fee more than paid within a very short period of time.

So don’t delay.  Join as a member today and let Harborough have a cinema again!

I’ve been asked by a few people ‘What if the cinema doesn’t happen?  Would I lose my membership money / seat sponsorship money?  It’s a fair question.  The answer is ‘no’.  We are collecting all the cheques that are coming in, but we won’t bank them until we are confident that we will have enough money to complete the project.

The good news is that we have already sold almost half of the cinema seats for sponsorship – which is brilliant.  But a lot of people who want to join just haven’t got around to posting off their application.  Please do it now.  Don’t wait till the end of May.

Great to hear the the start of the campaign to have a cinema in Harborough knocked the election of the top spot on HFM.  Whilst the leaders debate might have been a big story across the Uk the cinema came top on all news bulletins on HFM on Thursday.  It also proved a lively talking point on many of the shows during the day.
