The Astoria Cinema in Chippenham will celebrate its 75th anniversary on Sunday with a one-off screening of the Wizard of Oz.

The Judy Garland classic was released in 1939, the year the Astoria opened on May 22 in Marshfield Road.

The cinema management wants people who have worked there over the past 75 years – or have special memories of the place – to attend the showing.
