Depot’s Book to Film Club is a relaxed and open space to talk about books and movies. With classics, horror, and sci-fi on the shelf, there’s something for everyone to get their reading glasses on for.

Each month there will be a screening of a different film based on a book followed by a guided, friendly and informal discussion led by bibliophile and cinephile, Rory. You don’t need to be a professor in literature or Mark Kermode, you just need a free morning once a month to have an easy going chat about books and films over a nice cup of tea! All are welcome.

In 1600, nobleman Orlando inherits his parents’ house, thanks to Queen Elizabeth I, who commands the young man to never change.

After a disastrous affair with Russian princess Sasha, Orlando looks for solace in the arts before being appointed ambassador to Constantinople in 1700, where war is raging.

One morning, Orlando is shocked to wake up as a woman and returns home, struggling as a female to retain her property as the centuries roll by.
