We recommend you arrive as early as possible once the doors are open to soak up the atmosphere, reserve your spot, and purchase any food, marmalade sandwiches or drinks before the film starts.
What should I wear or bring?
This is inside a hall with other bodies. No need to wrap up super warm as you do for our outside events, amd definitely no blankets required!
Remember you will be sitting still for prolonged periods of time whilst enjoying the film, so please bring a cushion and most definitely a teddy bear with you for company and to share your marmalade sandwiches
Is the event accessible?
The event will be held in the village hall which has great accessibility and an accessible toilet.
Limited parking will be available outside Cherhill Village Hall, which we kindly ask you leave free for those with disabilities or mobility issues.
Further parking is available at Cherhill Primary School which is a short walk from the hall and will be signposted.
If you have any concerns about accessibility or think you will require assistance, please contact us in advance and we will do our best to assist you.
Should you need assistance whilst at the event, please make yourselves known to our friendly stewards who will be wearing high-vis jackets and they will be happy to help.
Will there be subtitles?
There will not be subtitles for this showing.
For hearing-impaired guests, you may wish to try an app called ‘Subtitle Viewer’ where you can search for the film and play the subtitles on your phone or tablet as the film plays on the big screen. We would recommend testing this prior to the event and we cannot be held liable if this third-party app does not work for any reason.

Your ticket includes popcorn. There will be refreshments and a tuck shop also available for additional treats - as well as marmalade sandwiches of course! Card and cash payments will be accepted.

With the exception of assistance dogs, no animals are allowed in the village hall. However please do bring your teddy bears - especially if they are the main man himself - PADDINGTON!! Please email the team if your pet is also called Paddington - there could be a treat involved! (Let’s see who checked the FAQ’s!)
Is parking available?
Unfortunately, there is limited parking at the village hall. which we try to reserve for those with disabilities and mobility issues.
Please do not park along The Street as it is not wide enough to accommodate parked cars.
Middle Lane (near the school) and Olivers Hill are wide enough to accommodate cars parked on the road, and there is parking on Cherhill Primary Schools playground. The hall will be signposted so please don’t worry, and it’s just a short walk, especially for those with legs longer than a Peruvian Bear!
We request that you park considerately and always ensure that access is not blocked for emergency vehicles.
Will there be official photos or videos taken at the show?
Yes, filming and photography may take place at the event. By entering the event you consent to be filmed and/or photographed. We are however conscious that there will be more younger people at this event, and so will endeavour to only capture backs of heads. Any pictures you may see the organisers taking will be of children and people we have identified as ok with photography. Please do however let us know if you are uncomfortable as a parent or guardian.
