The Broadway Cinema in Dailly Recap

The Broadway Cinema went to Dailly!

We received funding by Foundation Scotland to bring the magic of cinema to rural communities across Ayrshire. The first event was held in Dailly Community Hall on Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th March, with a packed weekend programme of pop-up cinema and an exclusive first oral history workshop co-hosted by our official filmmaker Gemma of Esther Morgan Photography!

The event opened with a family-friendly screening of Robin Williams in comedy hit Jumanji on Saturday evening at 7pm.

On Sunday afternoon, the heritage portion of the event began at 2pm with a presentation on the history of the Broadway and the other former cinemas of South Ayrshire, before our first ever oral history workshop commenced with opportunities for visitors to share their memories of cinema-going after an immersive presentation. The weekend then closed with a 7pm screening of all-time classic starring Tom Hanks, Forrest Gump.

We would like to extend our thanks to Kyle for his history presentation, and Gemma from Esther Morgan Photography for our first oral history workshop, and photographing the event so beautifully.

Also, a huge thank you to our attendees, and those who contributed their memories of the Broadway. And lastly, thank you to all our amazing volunteers, and everyone else, who assisted with both screenings! Without volunteers, there would be no Broadway!

See you again Dailly!
