About

Built as a cinema in 1923, the Grade II listed venue we now know as the Winding Wheel Theatre has presented 100 years of entertainment within its half-timbered mock Tudor walls.

We invite you to celebrate the centenary and learn more about the building’s history through our special programme of events including films, a gala concert, building tours and an exhibition all taking place at the Winding Wheel Theatre.

We will be screening a film from each of the last ten decades as chosen by our audiences and you can see all 10 films for £20 when booking our film package.

When coming to see one of our special films, why not come a little earlier and visit our exhibition about the building or go on a tour of the building. The exhibition is free and you can just turn up, the pre-film building tours are also free, but must be booked in advance

Two athletes chase dreams of glory in the 1924 Paris Olympics.

Directed by Hugh Hudson and starring Lindsay Anderson, Cheryl Campbell, Ian Charleson, Dennis Christopher, Ben Cross, Nigel Havers, Ian Holm, Alice Krige, Patrick Magee.
