Thurcaston and Cropston Parish Friday Night Films

Mrs Harris goes to Paris

will be shown on May 12th and lasts 115 minutes.

In our May life-affirming drama comedy, Oscar nominee, Lesley Manville, plays widowed cleaning lady Ada Harris who, in the course of her duties, falls madly in love with a Christian Dior dress. This is a delightful “rags to regalia” tale you should not miss. Costume Designer Jenny Beavan was nominated for multiple awards for her fabulous costumes.

The Lost King

will be shown on June 9th and lasts 108 minutes.

Our June film is an incredible local story directed by Leicester-born Stephen Frears, which is nearly all true. Over five hundred years after the last Plantagenet King, Richard III, was slain at the Battle of Bosworth, Phillippa Langley, played by Sally Hawkins, became convinced that she had discovered his resting place. This is the story of her resourceful and exciting research.

Thurcaston and Cropston Parish Council will be showing these films at Thurcaston Memorial Hall, starting at 7.30pm. Film tickets will cost the usual £5, which includes a lucky prize draw and refreshments during the interval. You can pay for tickets at the door, if there are any left or buy in advance from:
