About this event

The screening on Tuesday 22 September will be introduced by our member, Claudia Jolly. Watership Down was suggested by our member Claudia Jolly, who writes: ‘This was my earliest film memory and I was bowled over by it. I love how extreme a watch it is, especially from a kid’s perspective. I would love to see this film on the big screen in all its glory.’ An apocalyptic vision pushes a group of rabbits to abandon their warren in search of a new home, in this landmark British animation. Richard Adams’ timeless novel is brought brilliantly to life as Hazel, Fiver and Bigwig tackle the brutal realities of the rural world – and mankind’s devastating impact on it – as they lead their colony to the utopian Watership Down. Featuring an acclaimed voice cast (including John Hurt and Denholm Elliott), a powerful score by composer Angela Morley and the hit single ‘Bright Eyes’ by Art Garfunkel, Watership Down is a thrilling tale of adventure, courage and resilience that continues to enthral new and old audiences alike. Please note, the screening on Tuesday 22 September is our free members’ screening, whilst Wednesday 30 September is a regular screening, which is open to the general public.
