In the Veins

Step into a powerful story of resilience and community with In the Veins, a moving short film from the Yorkshire and North East Film Archive. This captivating film explores the heart and history of coal-mining communities, 40 years after the 1980s Miners’ Strike.

After the screening, enjoy a rousing performance by the York RI Golden Rail Brass Band, featuring iconic music from the beloved film Brassed Off, which poignantly captures the struggles and spirit of a mining town facing pit closures.

To top it off, you’ll have the chance to try out brass band instruments yourself! Whether you’re a seasoned player or a total beginner, this is your moment to shine.

Join us for an unforgettable event full of history, music, and hands-on fun – there’s something for everyone!
