Movie afternoons are coming to the Sprowston Diamond Centre, as part of a link-up between arts bodies and the town council.

Starting in September, the newly refurbished community centre will be showing films on the first Monday of each month.

The project has been announced by Sprowston Town Council in conjunction with Moviola and Creative Arts East, with the potential to extend the service to evening showings if it proves popular.

The first showing, on September 3, will be the Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, followed by Mao's Last Dancer on October 1.

All tickets are priced at �5 and are available in person from Sprowston Diamond Centre until the Friday before the performance, or for �5.50 on the day.

Showings begin at 1.30pm and the ticket price includes tea and coffee from 1pm.

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen will be shown on November 5 and, subject to confirmation, Anna Karenina on December 3.
