Having started in 1955, Harrogate Film Society is run by a group of film enthusiasts in an informal and welcoming atmosphere. Our core programme of 15 films starts in September each year running through to April. Our focus is on bringing you critically acclaimed and diverse films from all over the world. Entertaining, thoughtful, sometimes unusual and stimulating, many rarely screened in the UK.
Screening the films at the Odeon allows us to offer members and guests the full cinematic experience, including surround sound and comfortable seating (though it costs slightly more than cheaper venues as we hire the screens on a private hire basis and source the licenses and films ourselves).

As well as our core season, we put on themed events such as classic cinema, a music season, art films and ad hoc special events such as charity screenings.

Capacity for each film varies as we sometimes hire the smaller screens for our special events though our core season films are always shown in one of the larger screens.
