The cinema screening is the idea of local man John Duncan – and he says this could be the first of regular film screenings in the town.

He said: “Stone has so many great events such as the Food and Drink Festival, music festival, farmers’ markets and lots more. I thought a cinema would be a great addition to what already takes place.

“If people in the town support the idea of cinema screenings, in the new year I’ll put on screenings once a month on a Saturday, showing different films to hopefully cover all tastes and ages. After the first film I’ll have the building surveyed to see if 3D equipment can be used.

“The idea is to put some of the profits from the Saturday cinema screenings back into the community to support organisations and projects.”
