NEW film Say Your Prayers, starring Sir Derek Jacobi - which was filmed in Ilkley and is set in the town’s famous literature festival - will feature on the programme of films available to see at Ilkley Cinema when doors reopen on Monday, May 17.

It is about “two orphaned brothers turned radical Christian hitmen” who travel to Ilkley to assassinate a famed atheist writer, a guest speaker at the literature festival.

It was originally scheduled for release on Video on Demand and was then due to screened at Ilkley Cinema last year. It has a 12A certificate.

Georgia Milner at Ilkley Cinema says: “We have been overwhelmed by the positive response to our returning programme. Ilkley Cinema has always been a hub for our local community and we are so excited to welcome everyone back.

“Leading our return is Nomadland, the intimate road movie turned Oscar sensation, Say your Prayers, the highly anticipated British comedy set in our very own Ilkley, the critically acclaimed Ammonite starring Kate Winslet and Saoirse Ronan and family favourite Kids Club returns with a new Disney princess Raya and the Last Dragon.

“We are also taking on bookings for our new and improved outdoor patio. We have added undercover parasols and self operated heaters so our customers can kick back and relax with our wide selection of drinks and mezze style sharing platters!”
