We started RADIANT CIRCUS as new arrivals in London looking for alternative moving pictures. Along the way we have discovered London’s many community cinemas: passionate volunteers bringing independent films and some mainstream releases to their communities. Whilst it’s always nice to discover that rare, one-off screening, it’s the week-in, week-out of building bigger and bolder audiences in boroughs across London that earns our sustained respect.

We are particularly delighted therefore to help celebrate the new Spring/Summer Season by our friends at Screen25. Projecting at the Harris Academy in South Norwood, their twice-weekly events – broadening their main programme with locally made short films, Odyssey Film Club, Discover and various family/baby-friendly formats – deliver the best independent British and world cinema titles at a very reasonable price (£8.50 full price / £5 25 & under / £7 concessions). Their “all you can eat” annual membership makes for even better value from just £15 per month/£12 concessions.

Every community cinema needs you to do one single thing: buy their tickets and support every screening. Grab yourself a juicy discount (promo tickets are £6.50, a saving of £2!) using our exclusive RADIANT CIRCUS voucher code and go as many times as your wallet/work/pet/significant Lego project will allow.
