A bar will be available. All our venues are wheelchair accessible. However it is not possible to have step-free access to the stage in this venue so in the event that someone who is a wheelchair user or cannot climb the stairs wins a prize, we will come to you on the main hall floor.
We are showing a selection of films which are in competition for Best Film at NFF 2024. Plus we'll be premiering our litter hero films made with Castle Academy supported by West Northamptonshire Council. We'll start with U and PG certificates then have a short interval after which we'll screen the films with a 12 certificate meaning you can come to the first half whatever your age. Anyone under 12 will need to leave at the interval. Filmmakers, we hope you will all join us for our awards ceremony starting at 3pm at The Guildhall on the same day to see if your film has won!

A simple scroll through Instagram or TikTok and you’ll be left questioning: do I have ADHD? The rise in ADHD in adults is undeniable. But only over the last decade has ADHD been formally recognised in the UK. It has been suggested that about 1.5 million adults in the UK have ADHD but only 120,000 have been diagnosed. Waiting times to access an adult ADHD specialist clinic in the NHS can be up to 2 years or more. It’s hard to find support and help. From dopamine dips, hits and myths, how ADHD can present differently in women than men, and the neuroscience of neurodiversity; this talk is designed to give you an increased awareness and understanding of an ADHD brain. It will include advice and tips on how to navigate a neurotypical world as a neurodivergent person. This talk will also highlight how society is demanding change. People are increasingly recognising and accepting neurodiversity and self-defining as neurodivergent. Surely, it’s time for the world to alter neurotypical societal standards as they are fast becoming outdated. Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7.30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!
