MELKSHAM Seniors 55+ Forum will be showing Downton Abbey on Monday 17th February at Melksham Assembly Hall. 

Downton Abbey is a film that follows a year-and-a-half after the TV series of the same name ended. 

The film follows the beloved Crawleys and their intrepid staff prepare for the most important moment of their lives. A royal visit from the King and Queen of England will unleash scandal, romance and intrigue that will leave the future of Downton hanging in the balance.

The film stars Maggie Smith, Hugh Bonneville and Michelle Dockery.

Doors open at 1.30pm for a 2pm start.
