Village Cinema – Our Next Presentation

The next film screening in the Village Centre will be on Tuesday 26th October. The film will be The Personal History of David Copperfield, which is of course based, rather loosely, on Dickens’s novel. Nonetheless it’s highly entertaining and has the added bonus of a number of location shots that were filmed in and around King’s Lynn. See how many you can spot!

The film will commence at 7.30pm and tickets are available on the door, priced at £6 with under 16s £3. Entry includes a cup of tea, coffee or squash.

We have many “old-favourites” open and some new gardens to explore. Some of the gardens belong to local artists, who will have their studios open. Tickets will be on sale at £4 in advance at Dersingham Post Office, or £5 on the day at the Village Centre. From the Centre you will also be able to pick up your programme and list of the gardens. There will be refreshments on sale at the Centre from 10.30 on both days. All proceeds from the event will be divided between St Nicholas Church and the Village Centre.

Last year’s event was highly successful despite moving from spring to late summer and the gardeners look forward to welcoming even more visitors this year!
