About this Event
The People’s Emergency Briefing is an eye-opening 50-minute film bringing together nine leading UK scientists and experts to explain what’s happening to our climate and natural world — and what it means for everyday life.
From the sweaty heatwaves we’ve been experiencing to dried-up gardens, parched fields and farmers already having to dip into winter feed, the impacts are unfolding around us. The film explores what these changes mean for our access to food and water, health and wellbeing, finances and economic security.
The film is based on the National Emergency Briefing in Westminster, featured by ITV, Channel 4 and The Times, and is presented in a Gogglebox-style format. Hear from ordinary people as they react to the film — while sitting on a sofa with Chris Packham! You'll also hear from well-known figures including Deborah Meaden and Jennifer Saunders, alongside experts and scientists from across the UK.
After the screening, we’ll bring the conversation closer to home, with an open discussion about what it all means for our community.
Share your reactions to the film, ask questions and tell us what you think should happen next.
Come along, bring a friend, neighbour or family member, and join us for an evening of insight, conversation and ideas. Order pizza and beer from the bar!
Free entry, but places are limited so must book in advance.
Donations welcome.
