  • Domestic Abuse: information from the police

    With the current shielding and self-isolation in place for some families it is important that those who now have to live with domestic abuse in their lives are made aware they won’t be forgotten and we will still continue to support them.

    Domestic Abuse leaflet from the police

    Victims of Domestic Abuse: You are not alone

    We are acutely aware conronavirus will have a serious impact on women, children and men who already face domestic abuse in their homes.

    Fears over jobs, financial pressure, school closures, working from home and all the other current changes to our day to day lives are likely to result in an increase in domestic abuse.

    We do not want you to suffer in silence. As the situation changes daily, we want to ensure you feel you have someone there who can help.

    If you are in immediate danger you should call 999 or call the police on 101.

  • Upcoming Film: Judy, Saturday 18th April 2020

    Poster to follow 1968 and showbiz legend Judy Garland (Renee Zellweger) arrives in Swinging London to perform a sold-out run of shows, 30 years since she shot to stardom – her voice weakened but its dramatic intensity has only grown. As she battles with managers, she charms adoring fans, her wit and warmth shining through. Featuring her best-known songs, ‘Judy’ celebrates the voice and sheer pizzazz of  “the world’s greatest entertainer.”
    “Renee Zellweger gives the performance of a lifetime” – The Independent

  • Upcoming Film: Bait, Saturday 4th April 2020

    Poster to follow

    A truly original challenging British film, set in Cornwall. Stunningly shot on vintage B&W 16mm film, ‘Bait’ is a timely, funny, yet poignant,film of a community facing change. Martin is a fisherman, struggling to buy a boat, while coping with family rivalry and the influx of tourist money, AirBnB, and stag parties. With his childhood village now a get-away for London money, Martin struggles against family, tourists and locals alike, until a tragedy changes his world.

    “A genuine modern masterpiece…  one of the defining British films of the year, perhaps the decade” – Mark Kermode, The Observer

    In the Village Hall, doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start. Licenced bar, ice cream and filter coffee. To download the poster, click here  when available.
