The Birks Cinema Aberfeldy

A community gathering place, serving food and drinks, and featuring a state-of-the-art cinema
(543)

In April 2013, The Birks Cinema re-opened its doors to the public as a wee friendly state-of-the art cinema, after a 20 year interlude. This followed a determined fundraising campaign by The Friends of The Birks Cinema which brought in generous support and donations from the Big Lottery Fund, the Scottish Rural Development Program, Creative Scotland, and many other donors, including a huge number

of Highland Perthshire residents. Together, they raised the £2.2 million necessary to purchase The Birks Cinema building and bring it back to life as a community hub, while retaining its iconic Art-Noveau exterior. Since then, The Birks Cinema Trust has worked hard at developing a friendly local community hub, both commercially and socially. This amazing project is still ongoing, so please keep an eye on our website - https://birkscinema.co.uk/ - Facebook and Instagram feeds for details of our film, music and live events programme as well as all the community activities hosted in our hub. So please, come along and experience the magic of the movies as they are supposed to be seen - in our cosy auditorium, enjoying our huge screen and superb sound system from the comfort of our roomy seats......

THIS WEEKEND at The Birks 🍿🎞️

👨🏻‍🍳 Every chef has an origin story.

Dominic Sessa leads a brilliant cast including Antonio Banderas, Leo Woodall and Emilia Jones in this funny and endlessly entertaining coming-of-age story. Order up: your tickets are waiting!

🧨 He’s hungry for justice! After years of faulty gadgets, dynamite disasters and one too many falls from very high cliffs, everyone's favourite underdog is finally taking Acme Corporation to court. Will Forte and John Cena join the legendary Looney Tunes characters for a wild legal showdown in Coyote vs. Acme, packed with laugh-out-loud comedy and chaotic cartoon mayhem. Chase down your tickets today!

🕷️ Your friendly neighbourhood hero is still swinging across the Birks Big Screen. The world may have forgotten Peter Parker, but New York still needs the superhero as he faces a dangerous new threat and tries to build a life without the people who once knew him best. Tom Holland returns, and critics have praised Spider-Man: Brand New Day as the most grounded, mature Spider-Man story yet. Get those spider senses tingling and book your tickets now!

⚔️ Odysseus has travelled a very long way home. Surely you can make it to The Birks?

Before he became Anthony Bourdain, he was simply Tony. 🔪

👨🏻‍🍳 Long before Anthony Bourdain became one of the most influential voices in food, he was just a teenager chasing a summer job. That summer became the foundation of a remarkable life as chef, best-selling author, and television host. Starring Dominic Sessa as a young Bourdain, alongside Leo Woodall, Emilia Jones and Antonio Banderas, Matt Johnson's film plunges audiences into the chaotic, intoxicating world of a Cape Cod kitchen.
