A Short History of the Regal Tenbury Wells - now available through Amazon Kinde store!

We're very pleased to announce that a short booklet on the history of the cinema is now available via Amazon Kindle store. A shorter, paper version will also be available later in the year, and a more comprehensive hard copy version will be available to buy in mid-2013.

From the opening night of the cinema in 1937, through the golden years of cinema in the UK to the decline of cinema and the rise of the multiplexes, the short e-booklet follows the fortunes of the Regal over the years. Interested in knowing how many cinemas there were around Tenbury in 1942 compared to today, or in what year UK cinema audiences reached their peak? Then you need to read this booklet!

The booklet is available on Amazon here, where you can view a free sample of the beginning of the book. Supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund, the e-booklet is provided to you at the lowest price Amazon will allow. All profits from the sale of the e-booklet go towards future learning and engagement work at the Regal.

Also, a reminder; if you're a writer and you'd like to be involved in any of our literary projects, check out our call-for-writers blog post here where you can find out more about adding your written works to our future fiction and non-fiction publications. 

Write for the Regal!

Are you a writer, or would you like to be?

We'll be publishing various collections of fact and fiction on the themes of film and cinema, centering on the Regal, in the next year. From poetry and stories to factual accounts of the cinema's history, we're looking for authors to be involved in these exciting community-sourced projects. Our first publication, an e-booklet on the history of the cinema, is already available through Amazon Kindle store now.

There are no restrictions on age or experience to be involved, just enthusiasm for the subject! We'll select our favourite submissions to be included in final publications, some of which will be produced in digital form and some in hard copy.

If you're interested in joining in and writing something, get in touch by email, letting us know whether you'd like to write poems, stories or factual pieces, with details of any writing experience you've got and a short sample of your work (no more than 2500 words total, please, though less is fine). If you'd like more information you can write to us at the same address and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.

We're looking forward to hearing from you soon!
