WELCOME TO HARROGATE FILM SOCIETY
Harrogate Film Society (HFS for short) has been bringing the best in world cinema to Harrogate since at least 1955. We are delighted to screen our films at the Harrogate Odeon, thus providing our audiences with comfort and a full cinematic sound and vision experience.
The society is run entirely by volunteers and has a strong committed core membership, but we are very keen for new members to join us. You will find a warm welcome and a real mix of film fans and enthusiasts.

ACTIVITIES
In addition to our core programme of 15 contemporary films from around the world, we organise occasional film-related events in the local community under the banner of 'Special Events'.
Our most successful event has been Harrogate on Film which has now been seen by over 1,500 film fans.
We hope to bring more of these in the future. If you have any ideas, please get in touch with us via email (contact.harrogatefilmsociety@gmail.com) or speak to a committee member at any of our film nights.
SPECIAL EVENTS
With this initiative, our goal is to promote film in the local community.
Films we have shown under this banner include Mavka and The Old Oak to help fund raising for the Harrogate & Knaresborough District of Sanctuary at Harrogate Odeon and in other years, Revolution of our Times Documentary at the Odeon and Metropolis and The Passion of Joan of Arc at Harrogate Theatre.
JOIN HARROGATE FILM SOCIETY
Both our full and mini-membership options for the 2024/2025 are now closed as we have reached the end of our core season.
So for now, just sign up to our mailing list and we will send all the details to join later in July.
We offer Adult and Under 25's Membership Options
Our core season runs from 1 August until 31 July the following year and comprises 15 carefully selected films from the UK and around the world. We also offer a Classic Season, some art films under the Exhibition on Screen banner and a Music Legends Season. Additionally, we run further ad-hoc events and charity screenings.
We offer some pre-film social evenings and intend to keep our quiz evenings a regular feature throughout the calendar.
We ask you to score the films as you leave and welcome your comments too. For those who like to discuss films in more detail, we also offer several post-film discussion groups including a free tea or coffee.
Free parking is available to all at the Odeon after 6pm,
but you need to collect & display the orange voucher in your car.
Please note that members do NOT need to book tickets or reserve seats for our core season events, just rock up on the night, flash your membership card, gain entry to the film and sit where you like!
Everyone has to book tickets for ALL of our non-core season events.
If you would like to find out more about what we do, please get in touch using the email address provided in the Contact Us section.
