FLICKS IN THE STICKS
                               IS TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED

In view of the deteriorating situation with regard to the coronavirus pandemic, and the fact that many of us are in the at risk group, we have decided to suspend our planned film-shows until things improve.

Given that the government is now talking about a four-month isolation period for at risk groups this may well mean that there are no more film-shows until the autumn. We will keep you informed of our plans for restarting the film programme as these develop and to ensure that you don’t miss anything please ask to join our mailing list if you haven’t done so already - just email us at  fiscolwall@outlook.com or use the contact form below

Once we restart, we expect to include all the films below,scheduled for the summer, in the revised programme so you won't miss any of them you might have been looking forward to seeing. We think that it is a great programme and are very disappointed to have to delay bringing these films to you.

Please try to keep well and we look forward to seeing you again as soon as possible. With best wishes for a healthy next few months,

Flicks Programming Team
