FILM | RELAXED SCREENING | HIGH SOCIETY (U)

📅 Wednesday 12 March at 2pm
📍 the Barn, Banchory
🎫 https://tinyurl.com/535sj8bs

Jazz artist C.K. Dexter Haven (Bing Crosby) is still hung up on his ex-wife and neighbour, socialite Tracy Samantha Lord (Grace Kelly), however Tracy is engaged to another man (John Lund). Matters are complicated even further when a magazine reporter (Frank Sinatra), in town to cover Tracy's wedding, also winds up falling for the beautiful bride-to-be. As Tracy tries to decide on the ideal husband, each suitor works hard to convince her he is the best choice.

Free tea, coffee and biscuits are served during the interval.

These screenings are open to everyone and there are no adjustments to the film content; just pure classic film in its original glory with a slightly adjusted sound level and a few lights left on!

The lights are left on low, there are no adverts or trailers and the audience is allowed to move around – or sing along to any musical numbers! – should they wish to. There is extra signage put up to help you navigate the building.

For full information on relaxed screenings, parking, venue accessibility and a venue tour video, please see our website www.thebarnarts.co.uk

£5 per person, with a free place for accompanying carers.

Carers free tickets are not available online. Please call the Box Office on 01330 825 431 to book your ticket.

We are thrilled to announce we have been awarded Multi-Year Funding from Creative Scotland for the next 3 years.

As with all arts organisations, the last few years have been particularly challenging financially, and believe it or not - we were almost at the point of closing our doors.

Thanks to the work of our dedicated team and all our volunteers, in conjunction with our communities' and your ongoing support, we have managed to keep going through this period.

This extended funding from Creative Scotland will now allow us to move forward, with confidence, to deliver a wider range of opportunities within the arts and environment sectors throughout our local community.
