The Courtyard Theatre, Hereford
1. They show the sort of films I want to see. Sorry Hereford Odeon, I love your smallness and 60s interior but your one screen means you have to show the one film a week that can make you the most money. I respect that but The Courtyard shows a wider variety.
2. The yearly pantomime. The kids love it (the whole school goes). Always fun.
3. The clubs/workshops. I spend every Thursday of the school term there while the boy attends a film making club. He loves it. It is quite expensive but it is secretly educational.
4. Just hanging around! I can sit around reading a book and drinking coffee or I can go and get something nice to eat. Very handy when you have two hours to kill waiting for kids to do their clubs!
5. The art. The Courtyard show various exhibitions which are completely free to look around. You can even buy the art if you like it.
The final point brings me on to Own Art. I only found out about this yesterday while I was looking in the gallery. It's a 0% finance way of owning an original piece of art priced between £100 and £2000 with the cost spread over 10 months. I personally think this is a fabulous idea. I have space over my fireplace that needs something special and I have always thought of getting an original painting or sculpture but didn't think it would ever be affordable. Now I can think again and seriously look for something lovely for my home.
