October at Light House
1st October 2019
... Comments

We are delighted to be one of the key partners of ‘Funny Things’, Wolverhampton’s comedy festival, this October. Look out for the exciting menu of acts, films and activities coming up, ranging from Laurel and Hardy to Aardman animation workshops.

There are so many fantastic films to look forward to including Judy, Joker and The Farewell. My personal recommendation this month is Bait. A bold, experimental piece of cinema that explores the gentrification of a Cornish seaside town. The film has a real buzz about it and is definitely not one to be missed.

We've got a brand new exhibition - Where Were You? - this month too, and it promises to be a must-see for music buffs!
