On Friday 3rd July we had two sell out shows for Effi o Blaenau which saw people come from far and wide to see the new Welsh language film that’s taken the media by storm.

The last week of June saw us host our annual Schools Week where we invite schools within Denbigh and the surrounding area to come see a film for free.

Many children view DVDs at home but the experience of seeing a film on the big screen in a cinema is an entirely different experience and shouldn’t to be overlooked.

This year’s choices were Dog Man, Wild Robot and Madagascar.

Thank you for supporting us throughout the year. We’re now having a break until September – so hopefully see you then!

Friday 2nd July 2026 (Special presentation)

BOTH PERFORMANCES ARE NOW SOLD OUT

EFFI O BLAENAU

Effi is a young woman desperate to escape a town where the pubs are closed, the jobs have vanished and her grandmother works night shifts in the local chip shop just to get by. A chance encounter in a Llandudno nightclub with injured soldier Lee, (Tom Rhys Harries), briefly opens a door to something better. For a moment, Effi (Leisa Gwenllian)glimpses a life she never imagined. The reality that follows is far tougher. As she faces the future as a single, unemployed mother-to-be, Effi’s story exposes a stark social crisis: a system with too few maternity wards, too few midwives and too many impossible choices made out of necessity rather than care. Leisa Gwenllian gives a searing performance as Effi, evoking condemnation and sympathy in equal measures.

We don’t charge entrance for Schools Week because it’s a free community service, but we do still have to pay for theatre rental – although we do get a discounted rate.
This presentation is to help raise extra funds to help with the theatre rental for this year’s Schools Week.
