Wednesday 3rd December: “Film Night – with the Market Harborough Moviemakers” - doors open 7-45pm for 8pm start.
On the 3rd December 2008, we welcome back the very popular Market Harborough MovieMakers. Len Holden will present 3 films, all with a local flavour for our enjoyment: - The main feature is “Tales of a Land Girl” this film tells the story of a local land girl Pat Fox, who servedinthe Women’s Land Army for seven years from 1943 until it was disbanded in 1950. Pat recalls the working conditions, social life and the many humorous events she experienced, while working as part of the land army. Only recently have these unsung stalwarts been recognised for their efforts as they struggled to keep the nation supplied with food during and post the WW2 war days; This will be followed by 2 short local interest films; “Little Bowden Primary School” a documentary style record of the Centenary Exhibition held at the Little Bowden school last year, which includes cine film footage from 1962; “Market Harborough Arts Fresco -2006” another documentary focusing on this very special day for our local market town. Street Theater artists, local villagers and children provide their own commentary on the events, as they unfold through the day.
