The Heritage and History of the Aire Valley
From Friday 22nd September 2017

It's an amazing thing to be able to 'read' where we live, the places, their names and their architecture. Everything takes on a new dimension - a sort of 3D vision where the past comes to life in the present. Suddenly we are stepping in the footsteps of countless generations whose stories are written in the landscape around us.
This popular seven week course includes:
I. Prehistory, Romans (Indoors)
2. Anglo-Saxons, Norman Conquest (Indoors)
3. Buck Wood/Thackley (Walk)
4. The Middle Ages (indoors)
5. Tudors and Stuarts (Indoors)
6. Baildon Green & Baildon Hall (Walk)
7. The Industrial Revolution and the Victorians (Indoors)

Film: Memories of Murder
Saturday 30th September 2017
Doors open 7.30pm
£4 (£3 unwaged)
Given the subject matter, this is a surprisingly enjoyable and provocative blend of thriller, comedy and satire as it follows two bungling rural cops in their frustrated attempts to track down a brutal serial killer.
"How the hell does a film this tonally out there, with characters this lunkheaded and at times even cruel and hateful, manage to be so indescribably moving?"
Village Voice
"Low-key, unassuming, and crafty in the way it slowly gets under your skin, Memories of Murder is a sly and smart thriller."
