The Last Projectionist

Suggested donation £3.

Derek Taylor, the last projectionist at The Regal Cinema and Theatre before its closure in 2005, reflects on his years behind the projector and backstage. Derek not only made up and shown the films, but also worked with a whole variety of acts from school and amateur productions to world famous stars.

In this engaging and nostalgic talk, he explores Worksop’s picture houses from their 19th-century beginnings through the Regal’s long history to the modern revival with the Savoy.

This event coincides with The Age of Cine exhibition held at Bassetlaw Museum.

Suggested donation to the Friends of Bassetlaw Museum £3 (cash only)
