Cinephiles will be in their element at April's Manchester LG meet-up, as we visit the 1930s splendour of the Stockport Plaza to see classic film comedy The Titfield Thunderbolt. The Plaza Super Cinema opened in 1932, and - thanks to decades of efforts by local enthusiasts - it's late Art Deco architecture and interior is just as splendid as the day it opened. Vintage movie screenings are always preceded with a half hour of music from the mighty Compton Theatre Organ, and an archive newsreel, cartoon, or comedy short. It will conclude with the national anthem; Good Bless the Queen old chap. Tickets on the door will be £9, and the organ starts playing at 7pm. We'll need some dinner before the flick though, so we'll be meeting in Stockport Market Place for this month's Foodie Friday. This Street food fair takes place in the 750 year old marketing place in and outside of the famed Glass Umbrella market hall. A community success for several years, this month's event will be the first with the controversial Produce Hall open nearby. This will be a good chance to add photos and reviews to Google Maps and weigh in on the controversy. We'll meet outside the Produce Hall at 6pm, and will move to the Plaza at 7. Join us at any time, we'll be sure to be waving the LG logo somewhere.
I've RSVP'd! It's going to be AMAAAAAZING!!
Do we need to book tickets in advance or it's safe to get at the door? @deadmanjones
As for Produce Hall vs Market Hall, I've already decided on where my vote lies. . 😋
