What we’re about
Ipswich Film Club is a friendly group which meets on 3rd Monday of every month at The Thomas Wolsey pub in Ipswich.
Each month, we watch a film at home (we try to nominate films that are widely available on DVD and/or streaming sites), then come together to talk about what we liked, what we didn't, and to choose the next ones.
Be prepared for lively - but respectful - discussion about all things film, and much more besides.
It's a great way to meet new people, and talk about all things Silver Screen.
If you like reading too, why not join our sister club, Ipswich Book Lovers, which meets on 1st Monday of each month (excluding Bank Holidays).

See all- Film 6: 50/50Thomas Wolsey Ipswich, Ipswich
Our June picture is 50/50, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Seth Rogen.
Cert: 15
Duration: 1h 40m
Genre: Comedy
Stream: Google Play, Apple TV and Amazon Prime
Buy: eBay (it's actually cheaper to buy than to stream!)50/50 is "Inspired by a true story, a comedy centred on a 27-year-old guy who learns of his cancer diagnosis and his subsequent struggle to beat the disease."
Members watch the film at home on their DVD player/streaming service of choice, and meet every 3rd Monday at 7pm. Don't worry if you need to show up a little later than that, as we don't tend to start film discussion at 7 on the dot.
We have a break midway through to get a drink and pop to the loo, and everyone is welcome to stay on afterwards for further chat.
We meet in the upstairs room of The Thomas Wolsey pub in Ipswich. As you reach the landing, it's the room in front of you with a door, dartboard and red sofas.
We use this this pub because:
- There's parking nearby in the Cromwell Square car park (charged)
- The upstairs room has been booked just for us
- It's reasonably central. Map.
- No loud music, so we can chat and be heard
- It's also walking distance from several places to buy hot food
If you want to chat before showing up or would prefer to meet outside, you can DM Beren or Chris Adams on Meetup.
