A Wilder Tenterden

Film Screening

24th October 6pm

We’re delighted to announce the next screening of A Wilder Tenterden.

After two sell-out premiere screenings of our community film in February, we’re holding another screening at the Town Hall this October.

Tenterden Wildlife have created A Wilder Tenterden as an inspiring celebration of the community's power to protect and restore local wildlife.

Through local voices and striking images of the Kentish countryside, the film tells the story of how people, farms, and schools are working together to restore nature - from wildflower planting and regenerative farming to buzzing school gardens and thriving wildlife corridors.

Come along, celebrate what the community has achieved and be inspired by what we can do to shape a wilder, more sustainable future. Proceeds will go to our local nature recovery and education projects.

Location: Tenterden Town Hall, 24 High Street, Tenterden TN30 6AN

Booking: £10 + booking fee.

People's Emergency Briefing

Film Screening

28th November noon

Save the date for our second local screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing.

The film shares a Westminster briefing in which the UK's leading climate and nature scientists set out what the climate and nature crisis means for our health, food supply, national security and economy - and the credible, positive responses already available to us to help meet the challenges.

The film is part of a national initiative to ensure the UK is fully and honestly briefed on the crisis as the first step toward a serious national response.

The screening event will be followed by a discussion about the challenges faced by people in Tenterden and the positive actions we can take.

Location: Tenterden Town Hall

Booking: This event is free. Booking details will be shared very soon.
