On Saturday 1st February St Mary's church will stage their popular pop-up cinema for the 10th year.

Previous classic shows have included Nosferatu, Metropolis and several Buster Keaton comedies. 

This year's 'Ben Hur' film is epic in every way, if you have seen Gladiator you may relish this as the first foray in the 'Swords and Sandals' genre with the legendary chariot race sequence.

This annual event to support St Mary's has previously played to sell out audiences in the iconic town centre church. 

Organisers describe it as "truly unique entertainment, with a barnstorming live accompaniment by virtuoso organist Donald McKenzie".

There will be an Interval bar and prize raffle on the night. Tickets are available on the door from 6.15 pm or at Visit Hitchin in the Churchyard, David's Bookshop in Letchworth, or online at https://wegottickets.com/StMarysChurchEventsHitchin

£16 adults, £6 child ticket. 

All profits will go to support St Mary's who announced last week the first phase of a £1m upgrade.
