A NEW cinema club has been launched at a Cotswold venue.

The Lifford Hall Cinema Club showed The Lady in The Van to new members at the end of March.

The 2015 film, which tells the story of a homeless woman who lives in a van and has a cast that includes Alex Jennings and Dane Maggie Smith, was projected in front of an audience at the venue in Station Road, Broadway.

Gordon Franks said it was the first time there had been a cinema in the village in the 1950s, and had been possible through the support of Broadway Parish Council.

There are plans to show new releases in the future, and the dates so far set for cinema showings at the venue are June 27, September 19 and December 5.
