Book & Film Club - The Old Man & the Sea

Each month we take a book that has an interesting film adaptation and spend the evening comparing the two. The ticket price includes a copy of the book (which can be collected from our Abergavenny bookshop once you’ve booked your place) and the film screening at The Kings Arms. The bookThe Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway is a spare, powerful novella about an ageing Cuban fisherman, Santiago, and his solitary struggle to catch a giant marlin far in Hemingway’s famously restrained prose, the book explores endurance, pride, dignity, and humanity’s relationship with nature, finding profound meaning in simplicity and perseverance. The filmThe film adaptation brings Santiago’s ordeal to life through striking visuals and a meditative pace that mirrors the novel’s tone. Focusing on the physical and psychological intensity of the journey, the film emphasises isolation, resilience, and quiet heroism. It translates Hemingway’s minimalist style into a reflective cinematic experience that invites the viewer to sit with struggle, beauty, and grace in defeat as well as victory.

Go Wild

Go Wild! is an outdoor kids club run for children aged 0-10. Our aim is to use the great outdoors to introduce and explore an even greater God. There are separate, age appropriate activities for the under 4s and over 4s. We ask that children are accompanied by an adult, as we meet in an open space, with all the normal hazards associated with being outdoors. Adults are very welcome to join in the fun, or chat and socialise with other parents and guardians while watching their kids. More /go-wild
