Crowborough may no longer have a cinema but that doesn’t mean you can’t go to the movies in the town.
Pine Grove Pictures (PGP), a not-for-profit venture run entirely by volunteers, has been screening movies at the community centre since 2013. Its main programme films are shown once a month on a Friday evening.
As well as the Friday night movies, in 2021 PGP launched its free Tuesday afternoon screenings, Golden Oldies, which are great entertaining films from the past. These screenings are for everyone, but especially for those living alone, people with special needs and those living with dementia and their carers.
In February there are two big screen showings for film-goers to enjoy.
Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy (2025)
13 Feb 2026, 8.00pm (Doors open 7.00pm)
Bridget, struggling with grief after the death of Mark Darcy and parenting their two kids alone, decides to revamp her life and goes back to work as the world’s ditsiest TV producer. Her friends urge her to get back into the dating scene – Tinder and all. Enter hunky, twenty-something Roxster, the promise of new love … until Bridget discovers her child’s science teacher who is really more Mr Darcy than Mark Darcy ever was – stubborn and uptight, yet still irresistibly dashing.
Eric Ravilious – Drawn to War (2022)
19 Feb 2026, 8.00pm (Doors open 7.30pm)
Discover the life of Eric Ravilious, one of Britain’s greatest landscape artists who grew up in Sussex. He served as an artist in World War 2 and was killed on duty when his plane crashed off Iceland in 1942. This documentary about his life is set against wartime locations and is told in his own words using previously unseen archives and private letters. It features contributions from the artists Ai Weiwei and Grayson Perry and writers Alan Bennett and Robert Macfarlane.
