Film Night – “First Man” – Wed. 1 May 2019

Fifty years ago this July, astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the moon.

To celebrate this historic event, we are proud to be showing ‘First Man’, which tells the story of Neil Armstrong (played by Ryan Gosling) and the work of the NASA space programme in the decade leading up to the moon landing.

Based on the book by James R. Hansen, the film explores the triumphs and the cost on Armstrong, his family, his colleagues, and the nation itself for one of the most dangerous missions in history.

Film Night – “Breathe” – Wed. 3 April 2019

Sarah Matthews Leave a comment

Andy Serkis’s directorial debut about the life of pioneering polio survivor Robin Cavendish is heartwarming and heartbreaking in equal measure.

Part exuberant love story, part great escape adventure, this is an old-fashioned tale of triumph over adversity that refuses – like its protagonists – to succumb to confinement. This is a true story and stars Andrew Garfield as Robin, Claire Foy as his wife, with Tom Hollander and Hugh Bonneville in support. 

Peter & Amanda Worrall were one-time neighbours of the Cavendish family and knew Robin well.  They have kindly agreed to tell us a little about Robin at the start of the film.
