Information - The Shepherd + On-Stage Q&A

Gala Screening with a drinks reception in The Overlook and on-stage Q&A with the film’s producer, Richard Johns.

Based on a novella by Frederick Forsyth, The Shepherd is a heartwarming festive mystery.

Christmas Eve, 1957. For one Royal Air Force pilot, one last hurdle remains between himself and a cozy Christmas morning in England. A sixty-six-minute flight in his Vampire fighter plane from Germany to Lakenheath. A routine flight plan and a full tank of fuel. What could go wrong? But as the fog begins to close in, the compass goes haywire and the radio dies, leaving him in silence, lost and alone up in the inky black sky. All hope seems lost as he accepts his fate when, out of nowhere, a vintage fighter-bomber appears and is miraculously trying to make contact. For one lonely pilot this is a miracle, but really the mystery has just begun…

Directed by Iain Softley (Backbeat, Hackers). Produced by Richard Johns (Shadow Of The Vampire, The Liability) and Alfonso Cuarón (Roma, Children Of Men). Executive produced by John Travolta (Saturday Night Fever, Pulp Fiction).

6pm Drinks reception in The Overlook.

7pm Film commences.

7.40pm On-stage Q&A with the film’s producer, Richard Johns.

Pride in Place

You Don’t Need To Be An Expert To Get Involved In Pride in Place

One of the biggest misconceptions about community projects is that they're only for people with impressive CVs, professional backgrounds or years of experience sitting on committees. The Pride in Place programme - a government investment for Whitehouse and Stoke Park/Chantry of £20m into each area over 10 years - is trying to change that.
