Saturday 18th May Flicks in the Stick at Tarrington - Stan and Ollie (15)
Don’t sit at home on your own, come out for the evening and watch an aclaimed film. Steve Coogan & John Reilly give a delightful performance as one of comedy’s most famous double-acts, Laurel and Hardy. It’s 1953 and with their fame on the wane Stan and Ollie embark on a grueling farewell tour of British seaside towns. The tour starts badly as they struggle for audiences in modest music halls, but a series of TV guest spots rekindles the country’s interest as they head towards a big London finale. But old resentments surface, particularly once their wives join them. This is a charming and poignant study of lifelong male friendship. We leave Ledbury at 6:45 pm and return around 9:45pm
£5.00 per person (excluding film - £5.00 on the door - and refreshments).
