Our cinema programme is taking a break over the summer – watch this space for news of our upcoming films.
Once a month we convert the Children’s Library into a cinema. There are Thursday Matinees free for over 65s, and Friday evening film for adults. Further details are available in the Library or online at www.totleycric.org.uk
We aim to show two films a month — one movie on a Friday evening and one matinee on a Thursday afternoon. The Thursday show is free (no raffle ticket required) for the over 65s, but all ages are welcome. It is advisable to pre-book if you want to attend a film. This can be done in person at the library or by phoning the library when we are open. You can pay when you book or on the day.
Our 2026 cinema programme at Totley Library is now available for booking in person or by calling 0114 236 3971. Refreshments will be served at all these films. Raffle tickets: £3 per person, Thursday matinee films are free of charge for over-65s.
Friday, 18th September, 7:00 pm – The Best of Men (12)
The Best of Men (2012) depicts the true story of Dr. Ludwig Guttmann, a Jewish neurosurgeon and refugee from Nazi Germany who arrived at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in Buckinghamshire in 1944. There, he implemented a revolutionary rehabilitation regimen that rejected the view of paralysis as a terminal condition, instead using athletics and wheelchair sports to help patients build physical strength and self-esteem. His efforts eventually transformed their lives, leading to the organisation of national wheelchair competitions that laid the foundation for the Paralympic Games.
Thursday, 24th September, 3:00 pm – The Choral (12)
The Choral (2025), set in the fictional Yorkshire town of Ramsden in 1916, follows a local Choral Society that, having lost most of its male members to World War I, recruits teenage boys and wounded veterans to replace them under the direction of Dr. Henry Guthrie, played by Ralph Fiennes.
