NANTWICH Family Films @ 4 was celebrating after receiving a commendation at the National Film Society awards this week in Sheffield.

Nantwich Family Films @ 4 was launched in January this year, and has been showing films for families on the third Sunday of every month at 4pm.

The aim is to provide somewhere local and low cost for families to watch films together - a family ticket being £10.

Geoff Etherton, the co-ordinator of the community cinema project, said: “I am delighted that we have been commended in the 'Best New Film Society' category.

“To achieve this award is national recognition for the local difference we have been able to make, and is due to the hard work and dedication of an enthusiastic and willing team of volunteers.”
