19. A Private Function Screening with Post-Show Costume Design Q&A
A chance to enjoy Alan Bennett’s beautiful 1984 comedy filmed in Ilkley: A Private Function, starring Michael Palin and Maggie Smith as the married couple who, whilst rationing continues following WWII, start to dabble in the murky bacon black market!
The screening will be followed by a 30-minute post-show talk and Q&A with film historian Alexander Ballinger on costume designer Phyllis Dalton’s work on the film.
This film is rated 15.
