Wednesday 21st October: Rebuilding (2026)
Following a wildfire that destroyed all the farms on the hill, Dusty (Josh O'Connor) has lost his home. Set amongst the beautiful valley landscapes of Colorado, the cowboy finds himself moving to a trailer community to begin rebuilding his life whilst carrying the aching loss of his beloved ranch. Amongst the long silences and quiet stillness of Max Walker-Silverman's script, Dusty shyly rekindles his once-strained relationships, bonding with his daughter Callie-Rose (Lily LaTorre), and finding solace in his new neighbours as his first true feeling of community blossoms in the wake of tragedy.
Tuesday 27th October: Wuthering Heights (2026)
A sensual, carnal take on Heathcliffe and Cathy for a new generation, with the impossibly attractive couple of Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie as the leads with their troubled off/on relationship spanning many years and many reversals of fortunes. Rising-star director Emerald Fennell repeats the edgy, savage tone from her previous hit Saltburn and fills the screen with vivid, dark imagery. The chemistry between the leads is palpable and fires the engines of this sultry, tempestuous re-imagining. However, the show may be stolen by Martin Clunes' frighteningly grotesque turn as Cathy's miserable (and ultimately pathetic) father.
Sadly, due to declining audience numbers, we will no longer be running our own monthly Movie Nights, but we hope to replace those with other events which we hope you - our community -will enjoy.
THE CHURCHFITTERS ARE COMING BACK
FRIDAY 6th NOVEMBER 2026
Doors and bar open at 7pm
We have secured the amazing Churchfitters for a return visit to Harmans Cross after their triumphant, amazing and completely sold out Christmas Cracker in December. For many the band need very little introduction, but for new potential fans ....
The Churchfitters is a folk band like no other. A bass guitar made out of a frying pan. Heart-wrenching vocals accompanied by a musical saw. Foot-stompingly fast fiddle mixed with infectious funk-rock bouzouki. And traditional tunes reinvigorated with mesmerising jazz sax.
The three virtuoso musicians from England and France strut their stuff on a stage that bristles with instruments - adding flute, banjo, dulcimer, tin whistle, guitar, ukulele, stand up dustbin bass and a sackful of percussion to their ensemble. And let’s not forget the unique ‘bing-bong’ machine made out of hack-saw blades.
Throw in some exquisite harmonies, a slew of startlingly original songs and a few jokes that create instant rapport and you’ve got a high energy show that always leaves audiences cheering.
Tickets available from Tuesday 1st September at 9am via the Ticketsource link below. Early bird price of £16.00 per ticket until 1st October when tickets are £17.50 each.
