Writing With Light

 There's going to be a film weekend at the Castle.

On Friday 1st September there will be an outside screening of Fantastic Mr Fox, on the Castle Lawn (bring a blanket or chair).  The screening will start at sundown, about 8.30pm, but the bar will be open from 7pm.  Hot dogs (and vegan hot dogs) will also be available, as well as ice cream and popcorn.  The price is £15 a ticket, or £9 for under-16s or students. 

On Saturday morning, 2nd September, there's an art session with Hay Youth Art Group, from 10.30am to 1pm in the Clore Learning Space.  Inspired by the film David Copperfield - the fun one with Dev Patel which will be showing that evening), they will be looking at illustrations of Dickens.  All materials will be provided, including a sketchbook for the first session.  The age range is 11 - 16, and there are only 12 places, so best to book ahead.  Tickets cost £12.50.

This is only the first of a series of sessions - the next one, on September 16th, will be on lino printing.

On Saturday evening there will be an outside screening of David Copperfield, with the same arrangements as the previous evening.

On Sunday 3rd September, there will be a talk about British film music from 1900 to 1950 at 3.30pm, in the Clore Learning Space, with film clips.  The talk will be given by Amanda Huntley from Huntley Film Archives. 

Tickets are £5, but it's possible to get reduced price tickets at £3, and 'pay it forward' tickets at £7.50.

At 5pm, also in the Clore Learning Space, Jasper Fforde will be talking about his time working on the film On the Black Hill, which was filmed around Hay.  Jasper was the clapper loader on the film crew.

Tickets for this talk are as above.

Following the talk, the film itself will be screened in the Clore Learning Space, from 6pm, for the same ticket rates.
