Evening Film & Talk: Sinking of the Lisbon Maru
2026-05-27 19:15 - 21:30
‘The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru’ is a poignant documentary that sheds light on a forgotten chapter of World War II.
In October 1942, the Lisbon Maru, a Japanese transport ship secretly carrying over 1,800 British prisoners of war, was torpedoed off the coast of China by an American submarine unaware of its human cargo.
Through rare archival footage, survivor testimonies, and expert interviews, the documentary uncovers the harrowing journey of the prisoners as the ship began to sink, leaving them trapped below deck…
The film also highlights local Chinese fishermen who risked their lives to rescue as many prisoners as they could.
Before fleeing the sinking vessel, guards secured the hatches on the allied prisoners. "The intent was that the PoWs would go down with the ship," said Ken Salmon, from Hook, whose father was saved by Chinese fishermen.
This documentary is dedicated to all those who served, fought and saved lives in the Far East during WWII and beyond.The documentary film (2 hours) will be shown, then followed by a Q&A session with Ken Salmon, whose father was a survivor.

Exhibition on Screen: James McNeill Whistler
2026-09-30 19:15 - 20:45
A continued series of screenings for the Victoria Hall CharityEXHIBITION ON SCREEN
JAMES McNEILL WHISTLERKey artwork: Whistler’s MotherDirected by David Bickerstaff    90 mins
In an era of great change and great beauty emerged the character of James McNeill Whistler.
Considered by some to be one of the great innovators of 19th century art, he was a contemporary of the Impressionists, much admired by Van Gogh and Manet.
Boldly experimental and famously witty, Whistler disrupted the strict conventions of Victorian society in pursuit of a new cult of beauty, creating “art for art’s sake” and earning himself a place in the history of great art. He found a parallel between painting and music, and entitled many of his paintings “arrangements”, “harmonies” and “nocturnes”, emphasizing the importance of tonal harmony in his work.
His most famous painting, Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1 (1871), commonly known as Whistler’s Mother, is a revered and often parodied portrait of motherhood. It is arguably one of the most famous paintings in history and this film will unveil the artist behind the art.
Tate Britain is now holding the first major retrospective of Whistler in three decades. This blockbuster exhibition promises to reawaken the world to just how important Whistler is to art history, uniting world-famous masterpieces with rarely seen works.
Exhibition on Screen will bring these stunning works and the incredible story behind them to cinemas around the world while the exhibition is still running, bringing this truly global artist to a global audience. This will be an unmissable chance to get to know this visually spectacular artist and the influence he has had on those who followed.
“An artist is not paid for his labour but for his vision.” – James McNeill Whistler“A major retrospective of a truly global artist” Time Out

An Evening with Charlie Walker - 'On Thin Ice' - At the Golf Club - A Literary Festival Event
2026-10-06 18:00 - 19:30
At The Hartley Wintney Golf ClubHartley Wintney Literary Festival presentsAn Evening with author Charlie Walker – ‘On Thin Ice’
Charlie Walker is an award-winning explorer, author and international keynote speaker. He has travelled over 60,000 miles by foot, horse, raft, bicycle, ski and dugout canoe, in places as varied as the Tibetan plateau, the Mongolian steppe, the Congolese jungle, the Arctic tundra, the highlands of New Guinea and the Sahara desert. He is an elected Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, a Scientific Exploration Society Explorer Award winner, and the author of Through Sand & Snow and On Roads That Echo.
In early 2022, Charlie Walker set out to hike 600 miles along the frozen rivers of Siberia. He hoped to cut through the myth of the gulag and the permafrost to understand who its people are and how they reckon with their haunted past, as well as what the future might hold for this remote corner of our world. But on 24 February, Russia invaded Ukraine, with devastating consequences. What had begun as an adventure swiftly descended into a paranoid nightmare, as Walker began to suspect he was being monitored by the Russian authorities. Shortly afterwards he was arrested and imprisoned.
On Thin Ice juxtaposes the harsh beauty of a Siberian winter with a thriller-like series of events that exposes the dark heart of Putin’s propaganda machine. It is both the extraordinary record of one man’s walk through the most inhospitable place on earth and a powerful insight into a deeply troubled – and troubling – nation.
