Silver Screen at Just So Festival 2017 at Rode Hall, 18 — 20 August 2017 Tickets from £20 — Book now

Brand new for 2017, Silver Screen is a huge area by the beauiful lake celebrating all things to do with the flicks.

Channel your inner Gene Kelly and Ginger Rogers as Strictly Come Dancing choreographer Lana Williams will be leading Dance Down Broadway workshops  for mass recreations of famous Hollywood dance numbers.  We can’t wait to get involved in A Choir Anyone Can Join to raise the rafters in epic chorus lines.

Look out for Kitsch N Syncs’s comedy “Drive-in Movie’ experience like no other, take part in a Ukelele workshop recreating some classic soundtracks with a twist and get some film star styling to look the part.

Join the wildly competitive Just So Film Quiz and bring a blanket to snuggle up for a splendid outdoor silent cinema programme (in the semi-covered Travelling Barn) for some side splitting Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin action.
