The countdown is for Big Screen Ballymoney, with an action-packed weekend of cinema in Ballymoney Town Hall.
Audiences get ready to enjoy a line-up packed with classics, local stories, and family favourites organised by Causeway Coast and Glens Arts Service, and running from 6th – 8th November.
Things kick off in swashbuckling style with The Princess Bride on Thursday 6th November at 7pm – a cult fairytale adventure filled with pirates, giants, and true love.
From there, the weekend offers something for everyone, from heartfelt documentaries to iconic musical moments and timeless romance.
Other Highlights include:
• Road (Fri 7th Nov, 7pm): A powerful documentary narrated by Liam Neeson, telling the moving story of the Dunlop family – Ballymoney’s own motorcycling legends.
• Singin’ in the Rain (Fri 7th Nov, 10.30am): A free dementia-friendly screening of the classic musical. This screening will include soft lighting, slightly lower volume and a relaxed, supportive atmosphere. Carers, companions and anyone who enjoys a slower pace are warmly welcome.
• Primary School Choice: Paddington (Sat 8th Nov, 10.30am): A special family screening sponsored by Into Film, sharing the much-loved story of the marmalade-loving bear from Peru and his adventures in London.
• Dirty Dancing (Sat 8th Nov, 7pm): Nobody puts this 80s favourite in the corner –expect romance, music, and iconic dance moves.
With laughter, nostalgia, and plenty of movie magic on offer, it’s set to be a brilliant weekend celebrating the power of film and the community that loves it.
Tickets are priced at £5 per screening or £15 for a family/group of four, with the dementia-friendly screening of Singin’ in the Rain and the family Screening of Paddington offered free of charge (booking essential for all screenings).
