Tikka Trak Curry Van – Saturday, Not Friday This Weekend

Apologies for any inconvenience from the team at Tikka Trak but van trouble means that they’ll be visiting Broadwindsor village Saturday, 5th rather than tomorrow, their usual, fortnightly Friday night slot. Find them in the parking bay outside the primary school.

Pre-orders can be made up until 3pm on 07843 199 781

Opening postponed – sorry!

Huge apologies, but we are having to postpone Saturday’s opening because we’ve had to rearrange the position of one of the pieces of equipment for technical reasons, which has delayed the completion of the installation.

Local School Transport

Broadwindsor pupil Lottie Banner got a pleasant surprise this afternoon upon leaving school…. on turning the corner, there was Mum Jo standing their with her pony Cindy to take her home 🙂

Cindy attracted a lot of attention and compliments from passers by while she patiently waited.

Lottie wasted no time in putting her hat on and mounting her pony. With a confident smile, her Mum led Cindy back to their home in Hursey.

Broadwindsor Film Club – Friday, 21st October

At 7.30pm at the Comrades Hall on Friday, 21st October, Broadwindsor’s Community Film Club will be showing…

The Duke (12)

Directed by Roger Michell and starring Jim Broadbent and Helen Mirren. Running time: 96 minutes.

In 1961, Kempton Bunton, a 60 year old taxi driver, stole Goya’s portrait of the Duke of Wellington from the National Gallery in London.  It was the first (and remains the only) theft in the Gallery’s history.  Kempton sent ransom notes saying that he would return the painting on the condition that the Government invested more in care for the elderly – he had long campaigned for pensioners to receive free television.  What happened next became the stuff of legend.  Only 50 years later did the full story emerge – Kempton had spun a web of lies.  The only truth was that he was a good man, determined to change the world and save his marriage – how and why he used the Duke to achieve that is a wonderfully uplifting tale.

  • Doors open at 7pm for 7.30pm.
