Rex Cinema Elland Owner Charles Morris said: “We built up the business by arranging an advance programme and printing leaflets which in the early days my wife and I delivered door to door.

“More recently this has become rather more difficult due to the uncertain nature of film distribution, but here we have a selection which I am sure will appeal to the various sections of our audience.”

The full programme, including times and dates for showings, is available on the cinema’s website at: https://www.rexelland.co.uk/ and a leaflet is also available from the cinema and various local outlets.
