Tickets for Cherry of Zennor from the Chagford Filmmaking Group are on sale now

Tickets for the premiere of Chagford Fimmaking Group’s Cherry of Zennor are now available.

As Charles Dickens said: “In a utilitarian age, it is a matter of grave importance that fairy tales should be respected.”

Well said, Chuck, which translated into modern parlance is: get your tickets to the Cherry of Zennor screening at the Exeter Picturehouse on Sunday, February 8 at 11.30am.

You can pick up the tickets from the Big Red Sofa in Chagford or online from the Chagford filmmaking group’s website.

And if you need more convincing, here’s a sample of the story:

“Once upon time in the parish of Zennor there lived a girl called Cherry. She could run as fast as a hare and was ever full of frolic and mischief.

“Soon after Cherry reached her teens she became very discontented, because year-after-year her mother had been promising her a new frock.

“Cherry was sixteen when one of her playmates got a new dress smartly trimmed with ribbons. This put Cherry in a fever of desire. She declared to her mother she would go to seek for service, that she might get some clothes like other girls. One fine morning Cherry tied up a few things in a bundle and prepared to start.”

Teenagers, ehh? The same throughout history. We reckon it’ll all end in tragedy. But you’d have to see the film to be sure. Tickets are £6 for adults, £5 for youngsters.

Here are some stills from the production. For stills of the Chagford Filmmaking Group’s next film, Peerifool, check out our story on D+CFilm.
