The Picture House at historic Ludlow Assembly Rooms first opened as a flicks house for silent movies in 1925. Today, it offers affordable vintage glamour, screening comedies, dramas, action and international films. Curator Jess Laurie relishes the freedom of independent curating and seeks stories that inspire her local community. Friendly volunteers usher you to your plush velvet seat, while the cinema delivers a Cannes premiere-quality sound and picture as part of an experience that beats the multiplex every time.
