The small market town of Bedworth is known for its mining heritage and strong historical commemorative celebrations of Armistice Day. The stunning 19th century almshouses in the town centre houses independent elderly residents who have chosen to be part of the project through Warwickshire Libraries and have many powerful memories and experiences of the war, and thoughts on what freedom means today.

Join them to see a short film reel including original poetry, capturing their insights and stories, made with local young people who have also been involved with the filming and production. A small zine with the residents’ portraits, clippings, archive material, and original autobiographic poetry will also be shared during the celebration.
