Refunds, Returns & Cancellation

If we cancel a film for reasons beyond our control (including film nights, special events and the outdoor cinema), we will immediately notify you and refund any payments made by you for that event. Please note that the outdoor cinema is not affected by adverse weather such as rain or snow and we will continue to show the film; however, the outdoor cinema will be cancelled in the event of wind speeds in excess of 24mph, if directed to do so by the organisers.

If you wish to cancel your booking at any time, please note that, being a charitable donation to a non-profit organisation, we do not offer refunds. However, if you feel that you have had to cancel for extraordinary reasons, and would feel that it is appropriate and fair to request a refund, please contact one of the Committee members to discuss or send an email to info@villagecinema.org – or alternatively, contact us through the website here. All refunds are at the discretion of the committee.
