Film Night - H is for Hawk

H is for Hawk follows Helen (Foy), who, after the sudden death of her father (Gleeson), loses herself in the memories of their time birding and exploring the natural world together and turns to the ancient art of falconry-rooted in European tradition-training a wild goshawk named Mabel to navigate her profound loss. But as she teaches Mabel to hunt and fly free, Helen discovers how deeply she has neglected her own emotions and life. What begins as an act of endurance transforms into an intimate journey of resilience and healing.

Speaker Series - Stephen Powles - Otters

"Otters - Coming to a River Near You" with Stephen Powles Following Stephen's recent sell out talk at Paradiso, join award‑winning wildlife photographer and conservationist Stephen Powles for a lively and insightful journey into the natural world. In this facinating Otter talk, Stephen covers (amongst other things) an otter's amazing design features, their behaviour, signs to look out for and their population crash plus subsequent recovery. At the end there is a short piece on Hammer Scar, a female otter that unintentionally became habituated to Stephen and with whom he made four TV appearances. A former vet, Stephen changed career to pursue his lifelong passion for wildlife, photography and conservation. His work has appeared on television, in the national press and has earned major awards. Much of his photography focuses on the fascinating wildlife found in and around his Devon home. Tickets are priced at £10 + booking fee and there are a limited number of tickets available - book yours now using the THIS LINK TO OUR BOOKING SYSTEM! Doors will open at 7.00 pm for a 7.30 pm start.

NT Live - The Misanthrope

By Martin Crimp After Molière Directed by Indhu Rubasingham Award-winner Sandra Oh ( Killing Eve ) plays the title role in this razor-sharp reimagining of Molière’s classic dark comedy. Telling the truth isn’t always that simple. Alice, a brilliant novelist, despises the carefully constructed lies of modern society. But the more she challenges those around her, the fiercer the backlash becomes. Soon, she must confront the price of speaking her truth in a world that would rather silence her. Filmed live on stage at the National Theatre, Indhu Rubasingham directs Martin Crimp’s ( Cyrano de Bergerac) highly anticipated play. Runtime 120 minutes Sandra Oh shines in a witty update of Molière’s Misanthrope - Sunday Times Killing Eve star kills it - Metro Sandra Oh brings heart, fire, vulnerability and comic timing - Guardian Oh and Chahidi are a joy together - Financial Times A playful reimagining of Molière’s classic satire - Stage We will have two screenings, an evening performance with subtitles and a performance without subtitles. For dates times and prices PLEASE CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE TICKETS VIA OUR TICKETING SYSTEM Drinks (licensed bar) and light snacks will be available to purchase. For evening performances, doors open 6.30 and screening starts at 7pm. We recommend that you park at the Mary Street car park, a short 5 minute walk and free after 6pm.
