Caroline Cooper, head of commercial and cultural development, said: “Great Scott, you’ll have the time of your life now that cinema is back at the King’s Hall.

“Just like The Goonies, the staff at the King’s Hall have said 'never say die' and have been determined to ensure the venue in Herne Bay is safe so you can sit back and relax while watching a series of classics that are classics for a very good reason.”

Tickets are £6 for up to two people from the same household and £12 for a bubble for up to four people from the same household plus a booking fee.

Refreshments will be available.

The hall has hosted a number of free live gigs online featuring local bands and artists including David Shepherd and The Smokin Mavericks, with Kai Hoffman live with her band tonight at 7pm. The venue hopes to host socially-distanced live gigs when regulations allow.
