19th September 2026
Film: The Power Station
Time: 7.30pm
Location: Dovecote Centre NE65 0DX
A film about transforming a neighbourhood into a community-owned solar power station with green affordable energy. Let's do this in Amble!
More Information >
Power Station is a feature documentary that charts a couple's quest to transform their local neighbourhood in Walthamstow, London, into a community-owned solar power station.
Key Details
Premise: Driven by rising energy costs and climate breakdown, the filmmakers embark on a mission to bring green, affordable, community-generated energy to their street by installing solar panels across resident rooftops.
Community Activism & Creative Campaigns: To convince neighbours and fund the initiative, the duo use art, humor, and grassroots fundraising. Their tactics include sleeping on their rooftop during winter, growing thousands of sunflowers, printing custom "Greenbacks" currency, and collaborating with a local school to record a single aimed at securing a Christmas number 1.
Themes: The documentary highlights climate resilience, local empowerment, community solidarity, and how collective action from ordinary citizens can bypass systemic inaction.

25th September 2026
Amble Film Society: Run Lola Run
Time: 7pm start
Location: Dovecote Centre NE65 0DX
Run Lola Run is a 1998 German avant-garde thriller film written and directed by Tom Tykwer. It follows a woman named Lola (Franka Potente) who needs to obtain 100,000 marks (equivalent to €80,000 in 2026) in 20 minutes to save the life of her boyfriend, Manni (Moritz Bleibtreu).
Date: Friday 25 September
Doors: 6:30pm
Talk: 7:00pm
Screen: 7:10pm
Cert: 15
Run Time: 87 mins
The idea of Run Lola Run is fundamentally simple. Lola’s life is something of a game. The objective is to get 100,000 marks in twenty minutes in order to save her boyfriend’s life. Everything else is up to her. The film borrows a quote from German footballer Sepp Herberger about the great game: “The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes, everything else is pure theory.” There’s something similar here. The movie opens with a thoughtful monologue on the nature of humanity, and our capacity to over-complicate things with what Lola’s boyfriend Manni describes as “rather stupid questions.”
The film for October has not been decided yet, suggestions welcome.
Entry will be £5.00 (you can donate more if you wish) on the door. Cash or card (I’ve got it working). The bar is by suggested donation, cash only.

Stargazing event at Hauxley Nature Reserve
Time: 7pm-9pm
Location: Hauxley Wildlife Discovery Centre
Stargazers have the opportunity to take part in a really far-out experience this weekend on one of Northumberland’s most popular nature reserves.
More Information >
The Northumberland Astronomical Society (NASTRO) is hosting another of its popular stargazing events at Northumberland Wildlife Trust’s Hauxley nature reserve on Saturday 26th September.
Hosted by Dr Adrian Jannetta FRAS, the event which runs between 5:30pm and 8:00pm, includes a talk in the classroom of the Wildlife Discovery Centre followed by the opportunity to explore the Northumberland skies with members of the NASTRO team using high powered telescopes.
The event is a fantastic opportunity to visit the Hauxley nature reserve after dark as it is usually closed to members of the public.
Apart from the chance to see the resident bats flying around (weather permitting) it’s a fabulous place to stargaze as the area is totally unaffected by any light pollution with, in the past, excited participants spotting Jupiter, the Milky Way and shooting stars.
