Together with the U3A Cinema group, we have arranged a return visit to the Kent Museum of the Moving Image in delightful Deal on Wednesday 20th August. The Museum restricts us to 35 places and the cost is £8.50 per member for the group ticket at the MOMI museum. This price includes refreshments. This is an 'arrange your own transport' outing.
Kent MOMI is a new-ish museum and is dedicated to the history of cinema and the extraordinary array of visual entertainments that came before it, from peep-shows and magic-lantern “dissolving views” to zoetropes and thaumatropes. They have refreshed their displays from last year.
We are not arranging a coach for the day this time as Deal is just a hop away for many of us and it’s a good reason to use our free bus passes if we have them!. We will meet outside the Museum in Deal at 11.00am. How you get there is entirely your choice – bus, car, cycling or walking – If you'd like to come on the 12 bus from Canterbury with us just let us know.
The tour will last about 2 hours; from 11am with a break halfway through for refreshments and biscuits (all included). The museum is opening specially for us and won't be open to the public on the day.
Note that existing tickets which give you free entry for a year don't apply to these guided tours.

Deal, as we're sure you know, is full of other museums, cafés and pubs as well as the beach, so we can always stay on for lunch together in an impromptu group and there’s plenty to see on a seaside wander.
If you are coming by bus from Canterbury please note that there is a half mile/15 minute walk to the Museum from the bus stop.
Bookings for this event are now closed.
