Flourish

Thank you for everyone who came to our film screening with last night of Our Land.

Beautifully shot. The importance of being out in nature and that being welcoming and accessible cannot be understated!

It was wonderful to see the Q&A afterwards and hear people’s views of the film and subject.

Our screening tomorrow (Thursday 4th) is now FULLY BOOKED!!
We’re so excited to watch and share this with you.

Exciting announcement!! 🎥🎥🍿🍿

Flourish Peterborough and Gateway Film Festival are pleased to announce the screening of Our Land.

This screening is free but booking is essential.

OUR LAND dares to tread where few have trespassed before, asking the timely question of who has the right to roam in the English countryside? The UK is a wild and beautiful place, but the vast majority of it is off limits to the general public, with 92% of land and 97% of all rivers in England not legally accessible. At the same time, it is a landscape shaped by centuries of inheritance and tradition, with land held and cared for by families across multiple generations.

OUR LAND takes us to the heart of the ‘Right to Roam’ movement as it embarks on a provocative trail of mass trespass, campaigning and education, while also exploring landowners’ concerns around environmental protection and the danger such widespread access could pose to a landscape already under threat.

Join us at St Mark’s Church Hall from 6.15pm we will start the film at 6.35pm.

This is a British Board of Film Classification (BBFC): 12A

Venue details:

Beautiful sunny day

Join us and Gateway Film Festival at the film screening of Ackroyd & Harvey: The Art of Activism

Saturday 22nd November 2025
6.30pm to 8pm

When does practice become protest? Or protest, poetry?

Award-winning documentary filmmaker Fiona Cunningham-Reid presents an intimate portrait of internationally acclaimed artists Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey, who work at the intersection of art, activism, biology and ecology.

Uncompromisingly preoccupied with the climate and ecological crisis, Ackroyd & Harvey’s work has become a rallying cry for the environmental movement, winning them international acclaim and a global following. With some of their pieces standing in prestigious galleries and others embedded in nature, their work not only references the natural world, but also regularly employs it. The film offers singular access into the lives, work and partnership of the artists, and their quest to shake humanity into action on climate catastrophe – whatever the personal cost – including their collaboration with Extinction Rebellion, and co-founding the movement Culture Declares Emergency.

Meticulous and thoughtful, this careful study of a lifelong creative partnership asks questions of where art and hope – and love – stand in our very uncertain world.

We are partnering with Gateway Film Festival to bring this film to Peterborough.

Have you attended the film screening 'River' we put on at Nene Park with Gateway Film Festival?

Your feedback is really appreciated :)

We need your feedback!

This summer we hosted 10 outdoor film events across Peterborough from Nene Park to Westraven Community Garden, and even a tent at the Culture Community Carnival.

We shared a mix of family favourites, archive treasures, documentaries and short films – and now we’d love to know what you thought.

Your feedback helps us shape future screenings and bring even more films to our communities.
