Strictly Cinema (inactive)

Strictly Cinema offered monthly screenings at Maesteg Town Hall, with the aim of combating loneliness and improving health amongst seniors and audiences with disabilities.

Screenings included activities around the films to appeal to audiences. The aim was to provide a unique social experience combining film, food and dance.

The events were great way to reconnect with old friends and make new friends whilst enjoying a great movie and staying active.
