Special Event: 50th Anniversary Screening with Special Guest screenwriter David Wood
Based upon Arthur Ransome's immortal children's novel, a group of youngsters spend one idyllic summer holiday in 1929 messing about in boats in the Lake District. A magical adaptation of the beloved book, full of charm and excitement, and appealing to both children and adults.
