Military Film Night

Saturday 12th October, gates open 5.00pm

FREE ENTRY

Military film night, featuring the Royal British Legion & RAF cadet band

Join us for a screening of the ground-breaking WW1 film, 1917, directed by Sam Mendes, following the story of two young British soldiers who are assigned to hand deliver an urgent message to a nearby battalion which involves traversing across hostile enemy territory. This is based on stories told to Sam Mendes by his grandfather as he recollected his memories of the horrors of the battles on the Western Front.

We are also marking the approaching Remembrance Day, a significant date in the Garrison's diary, with the presence of Royal British Legion including standard bearers, plus an opening performance by the RAF cadets band. We will also be launching the poppy campaign at the Garrison. 

It promises to be a memorable evening.

Gates open at 5.00pm, with the film due to start at 6.00pm.

There will also be fully licensed bar available.
