The Great Picturehouse Bike Relay

Forget the Olympics or the European Championships – 2012’s hottest sporting event is the Picturehouse Year of Sports, which will raise money for our partner charity, Plan.

We are aiming to raise a total of £30,000 this year to fund this borehole. Our last fundraising weekend raised a massive £15,000, so we know we can do it. We hope you, our customers and friends, will get us to this fantastic total through your generous gifts and sponsorship, as our staff take part in some amazing activities.

At the heart of our Year of Sport is the Great Picturehouse Bike Relay. Starting at the Belmont, Aberdeen, we’re aiming to cycle to each and every one of the 20 Picturehouse cinemas, finishing all the way down in Exeter.
