The theme of this year’s Archives open day is film. Come and find out about some of the hidden stories of the silver screen: from the home movies that local people made to the big films that were shot on location here; the social life of cinema-going to the way that we now use film to record ordinary people’s life histories.
• Talks and films
• Exhibition of original art and photographs
• Children’s activities
• Archives enquiry desk
• Refreshments
• Local societies’ stands
