We show a wide range of films every year at Chorley Little Theatre. We have been running for 20 years and aim to entertain the town with great films shown at the highest quality: we have digital projection, a 21 foot screen and 8 Speaker Surround Sound (when available)

We have now installed a brand-new big screen at Chorley Little Theatre. We think it's the biggest permanent screen ever in Chorley and is at least equal to an average multiplex screen. Our thanks to CADOS for letting us install it.

News: Our season ends with Atonement and we'll be back on 31st August. Look out for our special shows during Chorley's Midsummer Festival - details below.
