Hawkchurch Film Nights by Chris Andrews

Many thanks to all of you who came along to see ‘The Duke’ last month – a hugely enjoyable film and a very convivial evening.

Starring Jack Lowden (War & Peace, Fighting with My Family) and Peter Capaldi (Doctor Who, The Thick of It) as the younger and older Sassoon.

Doors open at 6.30pm and the film beginsat7.00pm at Hawkchurch Village Hall, EX13 5XD.  All tickets £5 – reservations via csma95@gmail.com or leave me a message on 01297 678176 (socially-distanced seating available if booked in advance) or pay at the door.
