Arthouse in Preston

Today is apparently my day to blog about the movies. I've just found out that there's a new arthouse cinema coming to Preston (aka "England's Newest City") and this is wildly exciting news for me and those of us who live, erm, on this side of Manchester (those of you who live within walking distance of the Cornerhouse can go and be smug somewhere else.) It's going to be based at the University of Central Lancashire, it's opening June 9, and will have 4-5 screenings a week, plus talks/events/readings etc. Tsotsi and L'Enfant will be the first screenings. You can read about it here. Now, if I can just find a decent bar or restaurant in Preston, I'll be all set.
