Southport Film Guild was founded in 1966 by local people and is one of the most established film clubs in the country. The guild pride themselves on showing the very best in films from popular blockbusters, to documentaries, to lesser known but critically acclaimed art house and foreign films.
Each season from September to August on the first Wednesday of every month, 12 films are shown from the last eighteen months. The Films chosen are highly acclaimed, the best reviewed and those our members have specifically requested.
Films are free to members and £4.50 to non-members.
