Creative Blethers Friendly Film Club: People’s Choice

Join us for our Friendly Film Club presentation of the BAFTA award winning classic, A Taste of Honey (1961), starring Dora Bryan. The film will be introduced by Dora’s son Daniel, who will bring along the original BAFTA award for you to see!

In this domestic drama, British teen Jo (Rita Tushingham) struggles to find love in her bleak day-to-day life, which is dominated by her alcoholic mother, Helen (Dora Bryan). When Jo has a brief fling with a black sailor and Helen takes up with a new lover, their already tense relationship is further strained. Jo faces more complications as she discovers she is pregnant, but finds support when she moves in with an odd but thoughtful gay student named Geoffrey (Murray Melvin).

Complimentary tea, coffee and homemade scones will be served from 2pm before the film begins at 2.20pm. This relaxed screening is particularly suited to people with dementia and their carers, but everyone is welcome. No need to book.

Creative Blethers are all-inclusive creative experiences for the elderly, carers, and adults with disabilities or mental health concerns. Join us to enjoy a relaxing activity or just pop in on a Tuesday afternoon between 2pm and 4pm for a cuppa and a blether. Creative Blethers are free, but donations are very welcome.

Door to door, wheelchair-friendly transport is available to and from your home with our friends at Interloch Transport. Please email wellbeing@dunoonburghhall.org.uk to arrange transport.
