Dad's Army (2016) - A new film based on the adventures of the classic sitcom characters of the Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard.

The story is set in 1944, when World War II is reaching its climax with the Allies poised to invade France and finally defeat the German army.

In a town on the southern coast of England, Walmington-on-Sea, morale amongst the ageing army reserve force, the Home Guard, is low. Their new mission - to patrol the Dover army base - is a chance to revive spirits and reputation... that is until glamorous journalist Rose Winters arrives to write about their exploits.

These relaxed screenings are particularly suitable for people living with dementia and memory challenges, their family and friends but anyone is welcome. Please feel free to talk, sing and move during the screening.

Doors will open 20 minutes before the screening and there will be a 20 minute interval. We will be sensitive to the audience when it comes to lighting and volume in the auditorium. A quiet room for anyone needing a brief break from the film will be available just outside the auditorium and toilets including an accessible toilet are also just outside the auditorium door.

The auditorium is on the second floor of the building with good lift access. The second row has accessible steps and there are 6 wheelchair spaces available.

If you have any additional requirements or questions before booking please contact ask@inspireculture.org.uk

Tickets available through the Eventbrite link or at the Library.
