Our monthly films

Tuesday, 29th April, 7.30pm: the film will be Gladiator II. ‘Ridley Scott returns to direct again following the legacy of his original classic Roman epic. Years after witnessing the death of Maximus at the hands of his uncle, Lucius must enter the Colosseum after the powerful emperors of Rome conquer his home. With rage in his heart and the future of the empire at stake, he looks to the past to find the strength and honour needed to return the glory of Rome to its people.’

Tuesday, 27th May is Conclave. ‘Based on the best-selling Robert Harris novel, Ralph Fiennes stars as Cardinal Lawrence, tasked with one of the world's most secretive and ancient events - selecting a new pope. Finding himself at the centre of a conspiracy, he discovers a secret that could shake the very foundation of the Roman Catholic Church.’

All our films start at 7.30pm. Doors open at 7pm. Tickets are £7 from the library (NN6 7QB) and the Peephole in Long Buckby High Street. Refreshments including ice creams available.

Our musical events

Thursday 3rd April, 7.30-9pm (doors open at 7.00): Cut-a-Caper, the acclaimed band, which gave us a wonderful evening on Thomas Hardy last year, is back to provide more entertainment – this time about the Northamptonshire poet, John Clare. With musical accompaniment, members of the band will talk about his life and work. And apparently John Clare liked to scrape a fiddle! You’ll have an opportunity to learn a dance – only if you wish! Tickets are £7 from the library and Peephole in the High Street. Refreshments will be available.

Thursday 24th April, 7.30-9pm (doors open at 7.00): our resident Long Buckby Ukulele Group are with us for another evening of music. Come along with your friends (or just come along!) to this informal and friendly café style event. Refreshments available. Free entry but donations welcomed please.

Save the date. Saturday 17th May, together with Long Buckby Community Centre, we hope to have jazz performed by students from NMPAT. The event will be held at the Community Centre - more details on our website soon!
