Heriot Road, Chertsey, KT16 9DR
Situated close to the heart of Chertsey, the Chertsey Hall has been home to the Film Society ever since we started back in 1981. The hall is welcoming and well equipped, and is an important focus for many of the cultural, community & social activities which go on in Chertsey.
There are a number of rooms within the building to suit various different purposes, but the Film Society uses the main hall. This is spacious and has the benefit of a large projection screen and a good quality sound system, both of which are permanently installed. We can use the full width (5.3 metres) of the screen for films in 'Cinemascope' format, and can show an 'Academy' ratio (4:3) film at 3.8 x 2.85 metres.
The hall was originally equipped for 16mm film projection, and this was used by the society for more than 20 years, but since 2003 the majority of our films have been shown using digital video projection from DVD.
The hall is conveniently located, being a short walk from Chertsey railway station, and with ample car parking (free in the evenings) close by. The car park serves Chertsey Library, the River Bourne Health Club and Chertsey Hall, and the entrance is in Heriot Road immediately opposite the hall. The majority of bus routes serving Chertsey also go via Heriot Road. If you want to take a closer look at where Chertsey Hall is and how to get there, the easiest way is probably by using either Google Maps or MultiMap, whichever you prefer.
We show most films with a short intermission, during which time refreshments are available, a raffle draw is held and any announcements are made, plus a brief chat in which any particularly interesting aspects of the film may be highlighted.
More detailed information on Chertsey Hall and all its facilities is available via the Public Halls section of the Runnymede Borough Council website.
