Our Climate, Our Future.

Description
* This special event is presented jointly by DOCS+ and Fermynwoods Contemporary Art.
Please join us for this screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing - an eye-opening film bringing together nine leading UK scientists and experts who will share the latest scientific evidence. The film explains why the climate situation matters for things like: extreme weather, nature conservation, food security, our health, the cost of living and, not to be melodramatic about it, our future on this planet as the climate changes.
After the film there’ll be an open discussion about what climate change means for our community and what we can do locally. Stuart Dainton, Head of Land Management and Estates at the National Forest - a 200 square mile landscape regeneration programme in the Midlands - will be joining us. We’ve also invited our local MPs, Oundle’s mayor, and other special contributors to outline their ideas for local action. Members of the audience will be able to question them and put forward their own ideas.
In view of the importance of this issue to our whole community, DOCS+ is lowering the ticket price for this event to £5.00. Also, to allow as many people as possible to attend, the event will be held in Oundle’s Queen Victoria Hall.
Description
The Queen Victoria Hall, situated on West Street, stands as a testament to Oundle's enduring community spirit, a public hall established to honour Queen Victoria's legacy. Administered by Oundle Town Council as a registered charity, its purpose remains steadfast: to provide a versatile space for the people of Oundle and the surrounding district, serving as a vital local and regional event hub.
Within its walls, a sense of history permeates the air, subtly mingling with the scent of polished wood and the quiet rustle of velvet stage curtains. The main hall, equipped with a comprehensive lighting system, offers a refined yet adaptable setting, capable of transforming from a formal presentation space to a vibrant performance arena.
Practical considerations are well-addressed, ensuring broad access. The venue offers wheelchair accessibility via a dedicated side entrance and is fitted with a hearing loop system. A licensed bar is available for events, and baby changing facilities are conveniently located within the disabled toilet. While the hall itself does not provide parking, several public car parks are within a short walk.
Throughout the year, the Queen Victoria Hall hosts a diverse calendar of engagements. Its stage welcomes theatrical productions and musical performances, while the main space accommodates exhibitions, local markets, and private functions. From community gatherings to larger public shows, the hall consistently delivers a varied programme for all interests.
