The ultimate \u2018Zom-Rom-Com\u2019 Shaun of the Dead kicks off the festivities, proving that Valentine\u2019s at the Picture House truly offers something for everyone-even those dodging the undead.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Inside-the-Woolton-Picture-House-auditorium-e1761235422290.jpg\" alt=\"Woolton Picture House\" class=\"wp-image-228328\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The programme spans the full spectrum of romance, featuring Casablanca, a timeless Hollywood classic that reminds us why Woolton is the perfect place for the beginning of a beautiful friendship between the cinema and its supporters. The lineup also includes the Oscar-winning Moonlight, modern tear-jerker The Notebook, and the ultimate feel-good favorite, Pretty Woman.<\/p>\n<p>For those celebrating with friends, a special \u2018Galentine\u2019s\u2019 screening of Bridesmaids promises a night that is ready to party, while families are invited to enjoy a tale as old as time with the animated classic Beauty and the Beast.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAfter welcoming thousands of people back through our doors over Christmas, we wanted to create a programme that celebrates love in all its forms. Every ticket sold is a love letter to this building, helping us move one step closer to securing its future as a community-owned landmark.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the cinema continues its journey back into community ownership, the team is urging film fans to move quickly. To miss out on these limited screenings would be a big mistake. Huge!. Tickets go on sale at 10:00am on Saturday 17th January. Given the record-breaking demand for the Christmas season, early booking is highly recommended for what many consider one of the most beautiful and romantic cinematic settings in the country.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Woolton-Picturehouse-May-2025-31-scaled-e1748360921203.jpg\" alt=\"Woolton Picture house\" class=\"wp-image-220574\"\/>Woolton Picture house<br \/>\n<strong>Valentine\u2019s Screenings Programme:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Friday 13 February<\/p>\n<p>7pm \u2013 Shaun of the Dead\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Saturday 14 February<\/p>\n<p>2pm \u2013 Casablanca<\/p>\n<p>7pm \u2013 Pretty Woman\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Sunday 15 February<\/p>\n<p>2pm \u2013 Some Like It Hot<\/p>\n<p>7pm \u2013 The Notebook<\/p>\n<p>Monday 16 February<\/p>\n<p>2pm \u2013 Beauty and the Beast (animated)<\/p>\n<p>7pm \u2013 Bridesmaids\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday 17 February<\/p>\n<p>2pm \u2013 Enchanted<\/p>\n<p>7pm \u2013 Moonlight\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Valentine\u2019s season follows a festive reopening that raised \u00a360,000 in just 12 days, bringing the campaign total to just under \u00a3220,000.
