Price increase. We have not increased our prices since we started in 2009! However we now need to put up the ticket
price to £6 (which covers film & drink as usual). It is not as practical in terms of change, so if anyone remebers to bring
along the extra £1 coin that will be much appreciated.
Thursday 1st October - Mothers Pride
The film centres on the Harley family, who are struggling after the loss of their matriarch. The family owns
the Drovers Arms, a village pub that is on the brink of closure. Grieving and financially strained, the family
faces the challenge of keeping the pub alive while navigating personal tensions and generational differences
To save the pub, the family hatches a plan to brew their own real ale and enter the Great British Beer
Awards. This venture is both practical and symbolic: it becomes a form of therapy, collaboration, and pride
for the family. The brewing process helps them reconnect, confront emotional burnout, and address long-
standing family resentments
Thursday 5th November - H is for Hawk
H Is for Hawk follows Helen Macdonald, who, after her father’s sudden death, immerses herself in
training a goshawk named Mabel as a way to navigate her grief. The film intertwines the emotional
and physical challenges of falconry with her gradual withdrawal into nature’s solitude, offering a
nuanced look at loss and self-discovery. Claire Foy delivers a critically praised, psychologically raw
performance, complemented by evocative cinematography. With generally favourable reviews and
accolades including the Zurich Film Festival’s Golden Eye Award, this thoughtful, restrained drama
is considered well worth watching for its authenticity and emotional depth.
