Amble Film Society: Conclave
Time: 7pm
Location: Dovecote Centre NE65 0DX
At last the next film will be the (hopefully) multi award winning Conclave. Conclave is a 2024 political thriller film directed by Edward Berger and written by Peter Straughan, based on the 2016 novel by Robert Harris.
Date: Friday 28 March
Doors: 6:30pm
Talk: 7:00pm
Screen: 7:10pm
Run Time: 120 mins
Behind the locked doors of the Sistine Chapel, 118 cardinals are meeting in Conclave to cast their votes in the world's most secretive election. They are holy men. But they are ambitious. And they have rivals… Conclave is a thought-provoking papal drama that delivers edge-of-your-seat suspense with a venerable cast.
The film being shown in April will be Get Carter(1971) on 25 April
As a reminder, we will ask you to make a suggested donation (initially £5.00, you can donate more if you wish) on the door. Cash only until we get a replacement card reader. The bar also is by suggested donation, cash only.

Location: Warkworth Memorial Hall
15 February we welcome the Wild Cloudberries. Well known locally, this contemporary folk ensemble is fronted by award winning singer songwriters Madelaine Leddy and Philip Stuckey.
28 March Neil Gore who previously enthralled us with the “The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists”. This time “Behold Ye Ramblers” dramatises the beginnings of the struggle for the right to roam and enjoy the benefits of outdoor activities. A celebration through Music Hall, poetry and song of the birth of The Clarion newspaper and movement that grew in its name. The mass trespass on Kinder Scout is well known, but is merely the climax to a series of mass trespasses dating back some 20 years.

4th February - 30th March 2025
Gillian’s new exhibition at the Bailiffgate
Location: Bailiffgate Museum and Gallery
‘The Lost and Left Behind’
Come and enjoy the thought-provoking exhibition by Scotland-born artist Gillian Lee Smith who explores the lost and found, connection and heritage and the past and how it has shaped us, including memories that are accumulated, embellished, diminished, and sometimes lost and even rediscovered over time.
Whilst the work represents and honours our collective heritage, our ancestors, and those who have come before us, we are also invited to view ourselves with the same curiosity and reverence as those we hold dear. What if we were to create/recreate (and even imagine!) stories that are familiar and celebrate our uniqueness - to connect with ourselves, our memories, and our human experience?
Living in Northumberland for the past decade, Gillian has found a great deal of inspiration in the people, industry, and landscape of our local area.
Prints and cards will be available to purchase in the Bailiffgate shop. Entry is included in the museum admission.
Pricing: £6 Adults, £5 for Concessions, £1 for ages five - 16s and under fives free. (closed Mondays) -
