Avebury Sanctuary Complex 2024 Selected
An evening of very short films showcasing Britain’s strangest and most wonderful folky stories. This event will be great fun, taking place in the smaller of the two screens at The Garden Cinema. We’re excited to be here for the first time! Screenings start at 20:45, so get down in plenty of time to grab a drink.
