Peter Pan
2023-08-03 19:00 - 20:00 UTC
Save the date – Peter Pan flies into Westbury Playing Fields – Thurs 3 August 7pm

This summer, Slapstick Picnic is whipping up a theatrical treat like no other in outdoor venues all across the UK: a three-actor production of J.M.Barrie’s classic play Peter Pan.
Slapstick Picnic is a sister company of The Handelbards who have appeared in Westbury before to great acclaim.
Let your imagination soar as they dish out this timeless tale of hapless pirates, feral children and a particularly punctual reptile. This show isn’t just for kids; their brilliant buffoonery will have picnickers of all ages cackling into their coleslaw.

This is one flight of fancy you don’t want to miss and courtesy of the Parish Council, Footlights and local businesses it is free entry!
To help us predict numbers entry will be by ticket ,available shortly from the village shop.

So bring your own picnic, rugs, chairs and soft drinks (no glass please). But if that’s too much hassle we have also booked Soul Dough who will make you banging wood fired pizzas and expect to have a pay bar. If you enjoy yourselves then we will be asking for donations so we can go on providing good entertainment for everyone in the community.

WATCH OUT FOR POSTERS AROUND THE VILLAGE – AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS
N.B. No parking – field too wet. Park elsewhere and walk. And remember bring own chairs and waterproofs!

Film screening in Westbury Sub Mendip Village Hall - Mad about the Boy - Friday 20 Oct, 7.30pm
2023-10-20 19:30 - 21:30
Mad about the Boy’

A reminder of our upcoming Westbury Sub Mendip Friday evening film – Mad about the Boy – a very entertaining look at the life of that great British entertainer, Noel Coward.
‘This very enjoyable and informative documentary, directed by Barnaby Thompson, digs into the contradictions underpinning the life and work of one of the most prolific and versatile talents of the 20th century.’
‘If anyone wants to take a mesmerising journey into matchless wit and style, watch Mad About the Boy, Barnaby Thompson’s documentary on Noël Coward.’
‘Mad About The Boy breezes through 73 years of fond and fraught memories with affection and enthusiasm.’
‘A suitably expansive look at a giant talent.’
‘Much of Coward’s output survives only in fading monochrome stills but Mad About the Boy deploys the full box of tricks to jazz up the slideshow.’
‘There is plenty from Coward himself, who is never less than entertaining in diary entries and snippets of his screen acting. Then there are the chatshow appearances in later life; he drops bon mots like grenades.’
So come and enjoy a wallow in stylish nostalgia – together with good company and the usual drink and nibbles.
Tickets now £8 for Adults and £3 for under 16s – to include your first drink – available from the Westbury Sub Mendip village shop or on the door. Next film will be ‘Oppenheimer’ on Friday, 17 Nov then not again until Jan 24.
We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible on Friday.

Pub landlord TJ Ballantyne, living in a previously thriving mining community in County Durham, struggles to hold onto his pub and keep it as the one remaining public space where people can meet in the town. Meanwhile, tensions rise when Syrian refugees are placed there, but Ballantyne strikes up a friendship with one of the refugees
