Join us this Sunday, 14 June at 6pm for a special screening of People’s Emergency Briefing, followed by a group discussion. All tickets just £5!

Featuring Chris Packham, leading climate and nature scientists, and Jennifer Saunders, the film brings together leading experts to explore the UK’s exposure to climate and nature risks, what they mean for local communities, and how they can support their MP to call for stronger action.

After the screening, stay for a group discussion, facilitated by Andy Rowland of ‘People’s Emergency Briefing Bro Ddyfi’. Similar events have helped audiences reflect together on the film and its implications, and many have felt a sense of optimism about confronting the challenge together and seeing a pathway to a better future.

Please note that everyone is welcome; however, the film is not suitable for children under 16.

If you are planning to come, please book in advance so we can make sure we can set up for the post film discussion. See comment below for more information about the film and where to book. Thank you!

Did you know that you can borrow ear defenders at the Magic Lantern? We have adult and children’s sizes, and they’re a great solution if you find the sound too loud or have sensitive hearing.

We tried them out this morning, and they do an excellent job of reducing loud sounds and music while still allowing you to hear the dialogue clearly.

Just ask a member of staff if you’d like to try them out during your next visit!
