  EXCITING NEWS FROM THE CORNER HOUSE , NOTTINGHAM!

   

  Robin Hood Gives Back

  To celebrate the release of Robin Hood, The Cornerhouse will be hosting a ‘Robin Hood Gives Back’ event on Saturday 24^th November between 11am-6pm. For customers who come and donate to our event, Robin Hood and his Merry Men will be generously rewarding you with a free Cineworld Nottingham Cinema ticket.

  Research has shown that families whose children receive free school meals, struggle to provide food during school holidays as their bills are drastically higher. This is only exacerbated during the Christmas period. Therefore, all donated items will be going to Old Basford Primary school’s very own Food bank.

  Items you can donate include:
  No perishable items such as soup, canned foods, pasta, rice, selection boxes, biscuits, flour, sugar, tea bags, coffee and crisps.
  Toiletries and sanitary products such as Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorants, tampons and towels are welcomed too.

  T&C’s apply. Please note that we will not be able to give you one cinema ticket per item. We will be giving away a free ticket per donation. The tickets are valid until 01/01/19 and are for 2D films.

  Perishable items, such as fruit and veg (unless canned) will not be accepted.
