Film Night - “LEE”

Join us on Wednesday 22nd July 2026 for our next film night where we will be showing “LEE”, the story of WWII photo journalist Lee Miller. This 2023 British biographical war drama film took 8 years to make and reflects on the life of Lee Miller - a former New York City fashion model and aspiring photographer living a bohemian lifestyle in France who later moves to London, and gains employment with Vogue magazine during World War II, photographing Britons during The Blitz. Her ability to further document the war is restricted, due to the United Kingdom barring women from serving near combat. However, after the United States enters the war in late 1941, Lee is assigned as a war correspondent alongside photojournalist David Scherman. Tickets will be ONLY £6 and these are available now on the website shop. The Wren Hall Bar will open for refreshment prior to the film screening. We look forward to seeing you !
