Noverre Cinema returns to The Assembly House after 30 years

After closing in 1992, The Noverre Cinema will return to The Assembly House for three special screenings.

The cinema originally occupied what is now the ballroom in the hotel.

The screenings follow a string of successful pop-ups in the crypt underneath St Andrews Hall.

The three distinct films have been carefully chosen to appeal to allow a whole variety of audiences to experience the blast from the past.
