With a great view over Hexham's Market place and fully stocked with a range of food and drink including some locally sourced treats, our café bar is the perfect spot to meet with friends and watch the world go by.
Our cafe/bar is open to all the public, regardless of whether you are joining us for a film, and is fully stocked with everything from handmade cakes to locally brewed ales, all at an affordable price.
All of the products stocked in our café bar are also available to take into the auditorium during a film screening.
The cafe/bar always opens 30minutes before our first film of the day and closes once our final performance ends, unless otherwise stated. This is typically from midday on Tuesday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday and later afternoon the remaining days of the week.
Our café bar hosts several fantastic regular and one-off events including art, music, poetry and much more!
Art Exhibitions - Our beautiful Art Deco area has proved a very popular backdrop for local artists to display their work and we host monthly exhibitions showcasing the talent and creativity of Northumbrians.
Current exhibition from Gateway into the Community, a group that supports and provides opportunities to those with learning disabilities.
“Art work doesn’t need to be perfect, lines don’t need to be straight, colours don’t need to match and run perfectly. So long as members are having fun, are happy and proud of their work, is all that matters.”
The Forum Quiz Night - Our brilliant quiz nights are held from 8pm on the second Friday of every month. Teams are limited to four players and entry is £1 per player with prizes available!
Our quiz night is on a short break and returns October 10th.
Quillseekers Poetry Night - Quillseekers is a monthly poetry evening hosted by local poet, Caitlin Kendall. From 8pm on the last Friday of the month you can join us in our cafe/ bar for a friendly and relaxed evening of shared poetry with open mic opportunities.
