Sunday 1 November - Movie Night - Hamnet Doors 7:30pm - Movie 8:00pm In 1596, William Shakespeare’s only son, Hamnet, died at the age of 11; between three and five years later, Shakespeare wrote a play which almost shared the boy’s name, and which has since become one of the most lauded dramatic works in existence. The possible link between these two events was the subject of an acclaimed 2020 novel by Maggie O’Farrell. Now comes this quietly astonishing screen adaptation – with a script sensitively adapted by O’Farrell and the film’s director, Chloé Zhao – and with Jessie Buckley as Shakespeare’s wife, Anne Hathaway, and Paul Mescal as Shakespeare. As in the book, Hathaway is here called Agnes, the name she was given in her father’s will. Her husband, meanwhile, is no famous playwright yet – we don’t even hear his name for more than an hour – but the educated son of a Stratford glove- maker who keeps pootling off to a London theatre for work.

Friday 13 November - Murder Mystery Night The editor of the Tarnley Gazette, Carl Mortimer, has been found dead under circumstances that have left the whole town whispering. His final evening was meant to be a quiet one in the newsroom, yet something – or someone – brought it to a sudden and sinister end. Now the presses have stopped, the streets are buzzing, and the truth is waiting to be uncovered. On this autumn night, you and your team will step into the role of detectives, piecing together clues, interrogating suspects, and following the twisting trail of evidence that Carl left behind. Was it a crime of passion, a professional rivalry taken too far, or a secret buried deep within Tarnley’s history? Every detail matters, every theory counts, and every team will be racing to crack the case before the others. Gather your sharpest minds, trust your instincts, and immerse yourselves in a world of intrigue, deception, and unexpected turns. It’s the perfect way to spend an autumn evening: a blend of suspense, teamwork, and lively fun as you work together to solve a murder that has shaken Tarnley to its core.
