Brief Encounter [80th Anniversary]

Running time: 87 mins

oin us for a special 80th anniversary screening of one of the most beloved British films of all time — David Lean’s timeless classic Brief Encounter, first released on 26 November 1945. Set against the backdrop of a smoky railway station, this beautifully restrained love story follows Laura (Celia Johnson) and Alec (Trevor Howard), two ordinary people whose chance meeting leads to an unforgettable and impossible romance.

Eighty years on, Brief Encounter remains a masterpiece of British cinema — tender, heartbreaking, and exquisitely crafted. Experience it once again on the big screen, where its haunting music, poignant performances, and unforgettable closing moments can be appreciated in all their cinematic glory. A rare opportunity to rediscover a true classic in the setting it deserves.
