Woolf Women: Now or Never at the Merlin Theatre Company (Thursday 18 June), with a Q&A from the director Marchella de Angelis.Woolf Women: Now or Never is a bold, funny, and inspiring documentary that captures the freedom, chaos, and sheer adrenaline of downhill skateboarding. Following five fearless young women on an epic journey across Europe to the ancient Sumela Monastery in Turkey, the film is part skate adventure, part road trip, and part celebration of friendship, courage, and pushing yourself beyond your limits.
Fast-paced and full of energy, Woolf Women goes far beyond the tricks and the travelling. It’s about taking risks, backing each other, and finding strength through challenge. As the journey unfolds, the film reveals the determination, vulnerability, and resilience behind the adventure, making it just as moving as it is exhilarating. Whether you’re into skateboarding or not, it’s a story about freedom, community, and what can happen when people dare to go for it.
This special screening, introduced by Woolf Women Director Marchella de Angelis, is being hosted by Frome Skatepark Project, with all proceeds going towards building a new skatepark for Frome. More than just a film night, it’s a chance to support a project that could make a real difference to the town. A new skatepark would create a welcoming, inclusive space for young people and the wider community to skate, ride, connect, build confidence and have fun.
Woolf Women is fearless, uplifting and full of heart – the perfect choice for a fundraiser that’s all about community, energy and creating something lasting for Frome. We’ll see you there!
