Oswestry Independent cinema opening again very soon

Dear Blogger

Oswestry independent cinema, Maona, opening very soon

Regular film screenings returning to Oswestry

New cinema coming soon

...and an opportunity for you to have a look around before it all starts!

THIS FROM THE TEAM BEHIND THE NEW MAONA CINEMA:
After the closure of Kinokulture last year, Oswestry lost its beloved cinema. Now, Maona Cinema is set to bring the magic of film back to the town, aiming to become a vibrant community hub. 

Maona Cinema will offer more than just movie screenings—it will be a place where families, film buffs, and visitors of all ages can enjoy everything from independent films to blockbusters and international cinema. The cinema will feature a diverse range of programming, including special screenings for children, schools, and seniors, ensuring accessibility for all. 

The dedicated team at Maona Cinema has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to bring the magic of cinema back to Oswestry. Every day, we're making progress towards opening our doors, and as that moment draws nearer, we want to make sure you're the first to know about everything that's coming up. From exciting announcements to behind-the-scenes updates, our newsletter is the best way to stay in the loop — so if you don't want to miss a thing, contact our duty manager Holly Maries -  holly@maonacinema.com

We're also entering the final stretch of our fundraising campaign, with just over a week left to go. We're now only 20% away from reaching our target! Your support could make all the difference — whether by pledging directly via the link below, or by sharing our campaign with friends, family, and communities who might be interested.

And of course, you can also follow along on our social media channels for even more updates, sneak peeks, and ways to get involved. 
 
With grateful thanks and looking forward to opening our doors soon!

MESSAGE FROM THE OSWESTRY FILM SOCIETY

After keeping the 'live screenings' flag flying at the Hermon after Kinokulture closed, we are delighted to see cinema returning to Oswestry.
We look forward to seeing and meeting again our loyal, friendly and supportive audience members.
By the way, Maona are planning to have a couple of open days this coming week, Thursday (21/8) from 3pm and Friday from 10am, so you can have a look around and also meet the team over tea and cakes!
