A POP-UP cinema in Box is being sponsored by a local company to screen a film about wartime Guernsey tomorrow (Friday, Nov 16).

The Panache Picture House is a pop-up cinema, based in the Selwyn Hall in Box, and run by a group of volunteers.

The showings of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, which stars Tom Courtenay, Penelope Wilton and Lily James, are being screened at 11am and 8pm.

Set in 1946, the plot follows a London-based writer who begins exchanging letters with residents on the island of Guernsey, which was under German occupation during the Second World War.

It is being sponsored by Silver Compass (www.silvercompass.co.uk) and Premier Holidays (www.premierholidays.co.uk), both of which promote holidays to the Channel Islands.

Liza Roos, of Silver Compass, said: “It’s a real community effort and there are many local groups involved.”

The morning showing is being run with and raising funds for, the local Women’s Institute.

The evening showing, like most Panache events, offers ‘supper pots’ from Yak Yeti Yak, a family-run Nepalese restaurant in Bath which raises money for the YYY Foundation to rebuild and equip schools in rural Nepal following the 2015 earthquake.

Panache Picture House is also showing The Incredibles 2 to a family audience on Saturday morning November 17.

The café will be run by teenage volunteers, raising funds for their school’s Global Challenge and Education For All Morocco (www.efamorocco.org).
