Cine Night Saturday 7 March 6:00 - 10:00 PM Sometimes, Always, Never @ Claughton Memorial Village Hall

Join us for a screening of Sometimes, Always, Never — a witty and heartfelt British comedy-drama directed by Carl Hunter and written by Frank Cottrell-Boyce.

Set against a backdrop of quiet British charm and understated humour, Sometimes, Always, Never, explores love, loss, stubbornness, and the small acts of bravery that bring people back together. With sharp dialogue, gentle comedy, and deeply human performances, it’s a moving and uplifting story about second chances.
