How do you find lasting love in today’s world? For documentary-maker and dating app addict Zoe (Lily James), swiping right has only delivered an endless stream of Mr Wrongs, to her eccentric mother Cath’s (Emma Thompson) dismay. For Zoe’s childhood friend and neighbour Kaz (Shazad Latif), the answer is to follow his parents’ example and opt for an arranged (or “assisted”) marriage to a bright and beautiful bride from Pakistan. As Zoe films his hopeful journey from London to Lahore to marry a stranger, chosen by his parents, she begins to wonder if she might have something to learn from a profoundly different approach to finding love.

A talk by Colin Heber-Percy about his book ‘Tales of a Country Parish’ at Liscombe Park Chapel

Monday 7th March 2022

During the unprecedented circumstances of Spring 2020, Colin Heber-Percy began writing a daily newsletter of reflections and uplifting stories to stay in touch with his parishioners. Word spread, and soon his bulletins were being eagerly consumed by readers around the country and beyond.

In this thought-provoking and invigorating book, Heber-Percy draws upon a kaleidoscopic knowledge of nature, philosophy, poetry and music, as well as religious writings, and interlaces them with amusing and touching vignettes from his Wiltshire parish.

As he follows the changing seasons, Heber-Percy moves from the seemingly small and mundane to ponder big life questions – can you find heaven in a Londis shop, why is the Bible not like the Highway Code, what on earth are we all doing here – while gently offering up wisdom and sustenance for all, regardless of faith and creed.

“Self-willed, eccentric, intimate… this book takes you into the mind of a man of intellect, deep tenderness, and above all, a passionate, life-sustaining Christian faith.” – Madeleine Bunting, author of Labours of Love

“Priests can make excellent chroniclers, having privileged access as they do to the minds and lives of others… Tales of a Country Parish is in this brave tradition. Immensely knowledgeable and curious, Colin Heber-Percy wears his deep learning lightly and his reflections are moving, compelling and insightful.” – Peter J. Conradi, author of Iris Murdoch: A Life

“A delightful book from a gentle, generous spirit.” – Simon Russell Beale CBE
“Philosophical speculation, country lore, rock music, spiritual exploration, erudite and beautifully written, this collection of reflections and meditations is a surprise and a delight. The kind of shot in the arm the Church of England badly needs – and is so rarely to be found.” – Salley Vickers

Tickets £25, including a glass of wine or soft drink option, a sandwich and cake.
All event proceeds go to BACO.

FILM NIGHT – CYRANO

Friday 28th January 2022

Join us for a special charity screening of Cyrano by kind permission of Working Title Films on Tuesday 11th January 2022 at Bernard Hall, Cuddington HP18 0AP.

Doors open at 7.00pm and the film begins at 7.30pm.  Tickets are £20 per person and must be purchased through Eventbrite in advance.  All government advice on Covid-19 will be adhered to, including limiting the number of tickets to enable social distancing and ensuring the venue is well ventilated.

Award-winning director Joe Wright envelops moviegoers in a symphony of emotions with music, romance, and beauty in Cyrano, re-imagining the timeless tale of a heartbreaking love triangle.

A man ahead of his time, Cyrano de Bergerac (played by Peter Dinklage) dazzles whether with ferocious wordplay at a verbal joust or with brilliant swordplay in a duel.

But, convinced that his appearance renders him unworthy of the love of a devoted friend, the luminous Roxanne (Haley Bennett), Cyrano has yet to declare his feelings for her — and Roxanne has fallen in love, at first sight, with Christian (Kelvin Harrison, Jr.).

Tickets are not refundable. All proceeds from this event will go directly to BACO.
