Don't rely on people looking for your website or Facebook to discover an event - it is up you to make an effort, not your potential visitors. Include the following on the poster and make it legible:

The Paramount
Our great hall of entertainment was described upon its grand opening in 1914 (a year after the Library next door) as 'Penistone's Coliseum.' The 1917 Penistone Almanack had this line: 'Town Hall - the Cinema of Penistone; the House of Comfort; the House of Health; the House of Clean Amusement.' As an assembly hall, theatre and cinema, our Town Hall has had a long and useful history and was at one time threatened with closure by Barnsley council. Penistone Paramount (Facebook).
