Membership & Tickets
Membership
GFS is a "members only" society, in other words you must to be a member to watch our films as we are restricted from selling tickets on the door.
Membership is £38 per year and gives you entry to all screenings throughout the season. It is open to anyone over the age of 16; membership is not transferable.
We take in new members right through the season although anyone joining halfway through the season (from January onwards) can join at the reduced fee of £22.
