Stansfield Village

Stansfield is a thriving village community situated amidst the undulating countryside of south-west Suffolk, approximately 5 miles north of the historic town of Clare and 11 miles south-west of Bury St. Edmunds. Other notable towns and villages nearby include Cavendish and Long Melford

The village population of approximately 250 is served by an active village hall, cricket pitch, playing field, church and public house The Compasses.  The parish lies within the borough of St Edmundsbury and includes the hamlet of Assington Green.

The surrounding countryside offers outstanding walking opportunities including the Bury to Clare Walk which passes through the village. Just a short detour down the road and towards the village brings you to the pub for a well earned rest!

Scott of the Antartic Cert. U.

Friday 9th March 2012

Scottoftheantarctic

 

To mark the centenary of this heroic and ultimately doomed expedition, REEL TIME are showing this classic 1948 Ealing film.   Starring John Mills as Scott, Diana Churchill, James Robertson Justice and Kenneth More, this quintessentially British film has an atmospheric score by Ralph Vaughan Williams (one of the composer’s rare and most successful forays into film music). John Mills is magnificent as Captain Robert Falcon Scott. Soon enough the world he occupies will be irrevocably changed on the killing fields of the Great War, where his story was used to inspire the troops.

`Scott of the Antarctic' is a timeless film about eternal values: human endeavour, achievement and triumph.
Doors open 7:00 for 7:30 start                                                  Tickets £4:00
Licensed bar and snacks available
