See What’s On page for more information.
Peak Film Society is a volunteer run, not for profit film society based in Glossop, Derbyshire, UK.
We show an annual season of films at the The Partington Players Theatre, Henry Street Glossop. The theatre has raked seating giving a real cinema atmosphere and a licensed bar, with club prices, open before the show. Our films are all shown at 6.30pm on a Sunday night (with doors opening at 6.00pm), making for a great night out in Glossop!
With no commercial cinema in Glossop, we provide Glossop’s Community Cinema, an integral part of Glossop’s varied arts scene. Our programme usually comprises a mix of relatively recent, well-received, releases, foreign films not found in mainstream commercial cinema, and the occasional classic.
We also assist other local community groups in showing film in and around Glossop.
