The Holiday - Fundraiser for Home-Start

Come along and enjoy this film, full of festive fun while raising money for a great cause. 

Home-Start is a local community network of trained volunteers and expert support helping families with young children through their challenging times. This is a great local charity, well worth supporting. 

In London, Iris Simpkins writes a wedding column in a newspaper and nurtures an unrequited love for her colleague Jasper Bloom. Near Christmas, she is informed that Jasper is engaged to marry another colleague, and her life turns upside down. In Los Angeles, the movie-trailers maker Amanda Woods has just split with her unfaithful boyfriend Ethan and wants to forget him. Through a house exchange website, Amanda impulsively swaps her mansion for Iris' cottage in Surrey for the holidays. While in Surrey, Amanda meets Iris' brother and book editor Graham and they fall in love with each other. Meanwhile, Iris meets her new next door neighbor the ninety year old screenplay writer Arthur, who helps her retrieve her self-esteem, and the film composer Miles, with whom she falls in love.

This is a fun, feel good film, that will definitely get you in the Christmas spirit.
