Film Evening
THE NORWOOD REBUILDERS
The Society’s Film Evening will be held on Thursday 8th October 2026 at The National Liberal Club, at 1, Whitehall Place, London, SW1, at 6.00 for 6.45pm.
Before we show the films, however, we have something of a special event. Earlier in the year as part of the 75th anniversary programme we held a short story writing competition for young people. After the meal but before the film commences, we will be presenting the winners of the short story competition with their prizes. We hope to have as many of the young authors present as possible, either in person or virtually, and the publication available to purchase in due course.
Turning to the films, our expert host will be Matthew J. Elliott, making a much-anticipated return. Matthew is a member of the Society and the writer of the long-running American radio series, The Further Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.
We’re very happy to be back at the National Liberal Club for this year’s event, which is entitled ‘The Norwood Rebuilders’, for reasons that are about to become obvious.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of the British Film Institute, we will be screening three beautifully restored films starring Sir Arthur’s favourite Sherlock Holmes, Eille Norwood.
To tie in with the Society’s forthcoming excursion to France, we will round off the evening with a recent French production depicting the investigations of Holms’ great-great granddaughter in modern-day Paris.
