Anybody coming from Gore to Oamaru tonight or tomorrow morning that could a do us a huge favour getting something to us? Please let us know, forever grateful! 🙂

URGENT: Due to circumstances beyond our control, we are unable to show Footrot Flat’s today as scheduled, instead we will be screening ‘Babe’ at 3.15pm today. We do apologize, we have been waiting for the film to arrive from provider and when it didn’t, we tried alternatives which haven’t worked out. We hope to be able to reschedule Footrot Flat’s for tomorrow if we can get it to work. In the meantime, please message us or email info@biggerpictureoamaru.co.nz if you would like a refund.
