The varied programme will include films of local interest and footage of early Balcombe from the Screen Archive South East. There will also be fiction, documentary and comedy films from our library of award winners. The star of the show will be “The Prodigal” which was shot in St. Mary’s Church earlier this year for a competition with the theme “Elephant in the Room”. The film features two Balcombe residents and of course the Church. There will be a retiring collection in aid of St. Mary’s in lieu of entry charge.
