📢 Special community screenings: The People’s Emergency Briefing

Thursday 23rd and Friday 24th July 2026

What’s happening with climate and nature, and what does it mean for everyday life in the UK?

Join us for a screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing - an eye-opening 50-minute film bringing together leading UK scientists and experts with the latest evidence and why it matters for things like:
🌧️ Extreme weather
🍞 Food security
🏥 Health
💷 Cost of living

The film is based on the National Emergency Briefing in Westminster (featured by ITV, Channel 4 and The Times) with appearances from Chris Packham, Deborah Meaden, and a range of voices from across the UK.

After the film there will be an open discussion about what it means for our community and what we can do locally.
Bring a friend, neighbour or family member: everyone is welcome. Suitable for ages 16+

See our website for times and ticketing details.
Note: the film is only being shown at in-person screenings and is not available online.
