RESIDENTS of Amesbury could soon get the chance to pop out to watch a film, thanks to a travelling film company based in Dorset.

Moviola is one of the largest rural film schemes in Europe and operates 85 screens across Dorset, Hampshire, Devon, Somerset and Wiltshire.

Showings are already put on in Tisbury, Downton, Winterbourne Earls, Bishopstone, Tisbury, Shrewton, Codford St Peter and Durrington.

Amesbury councillors are hoping the company will operate from the Bowman Centre in Archers Gate, giving residents the chance to enjoy the cinema experience without travelling to Salisbury or Andover.
