Arundells is set to continue its transformation into a vibrant cultural hub by hosting a diverse range of arts events in 2024.
The spring programme includes a silent cinema screening of a Buster Keaton classic, concerts, multimedia performances and talks on art, history and our local area.
On 11 February 2024, we will transport our audience back to the golden age of silent cinema with a matinee screening of Buster Keaton’s 1926 masterpiece, The General. This action-packed comedy follows the misadventures of a locomotive engineer during the American Civil War. The screening will be accompanied by live musical accompaniment from Andrew Harrison-King, further enhancing the cinematic experience. We are joined by academic, Peter Krämer, who will introduce the film and lead a post-screening discussion.
Luke Futcher, Events and Marketing Manager at Arundells says:
“I’m excited to kick off the new year with a fabulous offering of diverse events. I’m keen to build on Arundells’ reputation for bringing engaging events to Salisbury throughout the year.”
