This month at the Plaza, Crosby Age Concern are screening the 2018 film ‘The Mercy’ starring Colin Firth and Rachel Weisz. The film is based on the life of David Crowhurst and his attempt to sail around the world in the fastest time.
Doors will be open from 12:15 with the film starting at 13:00. This is a free showing but any contributions towards Age Concern funds would be very appreciated.
Art Exhibition
Members of our Painting for Pleasure Group often take part in the Maghull & Lydiate Art Group and accordingly many of their piece are on display at their exhibition. The current exhibition of work will take place on the 17th and 18th of June at Lydiate Village Centre, on Lambshear Lane. The exhibition is free and there is ample road parking available. Refreshments will be available. The exhibition is open from 10:00 to 16:00 on each day. Your support would be much appreciated.
