Happy Easter...🐰
Dear Ticket Holders for our Tuesday 2nd April screening of The Abyss, We are very sorry to disappoint you but unfortunately Disney have forced us to cancel this screening. We had approval and confirmation last month via Filmbank Distribution, but now Disney has instructed them to withdraw the license. Sadly there is nothing that we can do. Thank you for understanding and many apologies once again for letting you down. We SO wanted to screen this! All refunds and booking fees will be processed today. Kind regards, Braid Film Theatre.
