Auchterarder Picturehouse is a community-run arts venue and cinema in the Perthshire town of Auchterarder, operated by a volunteer group known as the CREW. It programmes film weekends, drama, exhibitions and a book festival alongside its regular spoken word night. The building runs a zero alcohol bar serving hot and cold refreshments, which makes its monthly Stanzalone open mic an accessible, all-ages spoken word slot for the wider Perth and Kinross area.
