For our first screening of the year, we are excited to be supporting a truly important and inspirational documentary, Champions of the Golden Valley, for a special event which is free to all! Please come and show support for this film and community cinema.

The award-winning documentary captures the emergence of Afghanistan’s homegrown ski culture in a breathtaking, seldom-seen region.

At its heart is Alishah Farhang, a former Winter Olympic hopeful whose dream transforms into a mission to bring skiing to his homeland. With handmade wooden skis and secondhand gear, young athletes from rival villages unite to compete in an extraordinary ski mountaineering race—a powerful catalyst for hope and community. When their world is suddenly upended, they must draw on the resilience forged on the slopes.
Riveting and deeply human, this visually stunning film reveals how sport can bridge divides and bring light to unexpected corners of the world—proving champions are made by more than medals.

As usual, doors will be 6.30pm.

FREE TICKETS FOR ALL.

We’ll have a tuck-shop with some tasty treats, so get the kids to save some pocket money (and adults too!) Whilst tickets are free, we would appreciate any donations – these will help cover the cost of the hall hire etc. and any surplus will go to supporting other events during our 250th year.



A parent, guardian or carer will need to be with each group of children. Each person attending, adult or child will need a ticket – sorry, without a ticket, we can’t allow entry due to license restrictions.

The Grantown Society presents a talk by Eileen Stewart : The Merchant Adventurers of Strathspey – 18th Century Fortune-hunting Abroad. Eileen Stewart enlightened us last year on the life of Abbe Peter Grant and his assistance in Rome with the purchase of paintings for Castle Grant. This year Eileen will present an account of the research she has been doing into the local merchant adventurers who made it possible for the enterprising young men to travel to make their fortunes – in some cases anyway – in the mid 18th century. It brings together a really interesting and multi-faceted view of our local involvement in Atlantic trading.
