For the first time, BTB have partnered with Pendle Social Cinema for a miniature film festival. See one, two or three documentaries and join the discussion around fast fashion and sustainable textiles. We operate a pay what you can model and recommend a donation of £4 per film you plan to attend.
Alongside each screening, Pendle Social Cinema will host Talkaoke, a pop-up talk show where anyone can sit and air their views around the table of chat, coming and going as they please. It’s a brilliant way to explore what people are thinking and discover or even generate new ideas.
