The event is doubling as a fundraiser for the Gunnedah MS Society who financially assist people with the chronic illness who live in the Gunnedah and Boggabri district.
President of Gunnedah MS Incorporated Sandra Cavanagh said tickets are $20 which includes tea and coffee and juice, with lucky door prizes to be held.
"All the money that's raised stays here," she said.
"We help with things like electricity, medications, costs to see specialists, fuel and travel costs, accommodation.
"If someone with MS was found to be wheelchair bound - which would be really unfortunate - we would also be able to help with renovations on their house.
"It could be small things or big things, but we assist with the expenses."
Doors Open at 6pm on Thursday, February 11 for a 6.30pm screening.
