Denbigh Film Club - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017) (12 June 2020)
Denbigh Film Club - Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri (2017)(15) Crime|Drama
No one does angry better than Frances McDormand, who does her best film work here since Fargo as Mildred Hayes, a recently divorced mother who lost her daughter Angela less than a year ago. Angela was raped and murdered, but the case has gone cold. There was no matching DNA, so the spotlight has dimmed and Mildred is getting no updates. She’s angry. She should be. One day, she sees three barren billboards on a rarely-traveled road, and she rents the space to ask the local chief of police, played by Woody Harrelson, why there are no answers.
Local media becomes interested in the billboards, and the attention sparks a series of events involving not only the chief but one of his more loathsome officers, played by Sam Rockwell. Peter Dinklage, Caleb Landry Jones, Abbie Cornish, Lucas Hedges, Clarke Peters, and John Hawkes fill out a ridiculously perfect supporting cast. Synopsis from www.rogerebert.com
Doors open 7:00pm. Film starts 7.30pm.
Bar and Refreshments available. Tickets £4 on the door

Theatr Bara Caws presents ‘FIENNA’ by Siôn Eirian.
Following the unmitigated successes of Garw (2015) and Yfory (2017) the award-winning playwright Siôn Eirian has been commissioned to write the third in his series of plays for Bara Caws.
This play will consist of three parts — a triptych — and the themes are race, boundaries, and how people and countries protect and force their identity on others. How has, and does, Central Europe deal with ‘Other-ness’?
This is a Welsh language production

Denbigh Plum Feast (3 October 2020)

The Denbigh Plum has become the 16th Welsh food product to awarded protected food name (PFN) status by the EC – and the first Welsh fruit.
