Gill Mitchell
Lead member of Film Selection Panel at Leyburn Arts and Community Centre

The Old School House, Leyburn's Arts and Community Centre, is a Leyburn landmark in the heart of this Wensleydale town. Formerly St Peter's and St Paul's Primary School, it now houses a state of the art 60+ seat cinema and is a focal point for local arts exhibitions, leisure and business groups, workshops and classes, and a range of local and national entertainers throughout the year.
We have weekly film screenings with a varied programme including recent box office successes, older classics and some carefully chosen foreign language films. Thanks to an Exploring Film Season Grant from Film Hub North, we also have a special screening once a month focussing on independent, specialist films - including foreign language, cult classics and documentaries. Our customers are able to relax in our licensed cafe bar before film screenings.
