Bideford Cinema is run by Bideford Film Society, a not-for-profit community group of dedicated local volunteers established in 2001 when the last remaining commercial cinema in Bideford ceased operation. In March 2015 Bideford Cinema became a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO). As a cinema Bieford presents a varied and entertaining programme of current films.
Bideford Cinema and Film Society remain grateful to Bideford Town Council and Bideford Bridge Trust for their financial support.
