Free Shuttle Bus (Sunday Only)

This year we will be running a free shuttle bus between Keswick/Penrith and Rheged on the Sunday. The buses will be running a circular route, leaving Keswick then picking up in Penrith town and arriving at Rheged in time for the start of each film.

Return buses will depart Rheged to drop off in Penrith and arrive back in Keswick in time for the films at the Alhambra.

Spaces on the bus are limited and available on a first-come first-served basis, so please contact richard@keswickfilm.org to book your seat.
