Our Seasons of films are still postponed (January 2021)

In the light of the current Covid-19 emergency, the Gatehouse Theatre has closed until further notice.

Your committee is following guidance from HM Government and Public Health England regarding public events and gatherings and therefore supports the Gatehouse in taking this action. We are deeply sorry, but there is no other course of action open to us.

As far as the rest of the season is concerned, we are working hard to assess whether we can start up again, perhaps in the Autumn of 2021. Please keep revisiting this website for updates both for Members and those attending individual performances.

Tickets bought in advance for particular films will be refunded by the Gatehouse. Members will receive an email or letter regarding their membership fees that have already been paid.

We really appreciate the support you all give the Film Theatre, and thank you for your understanding.

Even though we are not currently showing films, our constitution requires that we hold an AGM.

This will be conducted using Zoom on Tuesday April 6th 2021 at 7:30pm

Members who were current when the season had to be closed in 2020 have been contacted by email or letter to invite them to participate. We really hope you will join us. should you wish to contact us regarding the meeting, please contact us by email at:

In memoriam - Mark Harrison (1968-2021)

It is with great sadness we report that former Chairman of Stafford Film Theatre Mark Harrison has died, aged 52.

Mark will be remembered by past and present members as a mainstay of the film theatre over many years. For over twenty years he gave dedicated service to the delivery and presentation of good films in Stafford.
