Film Night @ Nature in Art
Feb 27 @ 7:00 pm

In the 1960’s, Born Free captured the world’s imagination with the story of Elsa, an orphaned lioness who was taken in by George and Joy Adamson and returned to a life in the wild. The book and film sparked a new love of nature but the true story of what happened afterwards was far more tragic as both George and Joy were murdered. This drama documentary re-lives those events. Nature in Art has held a number of events in support of Elsa Trust and Born Free. Representatives from Elsa Trust will be present on the night and a few of Joy Adamson’s original paintings will be on show.

Tickets: £8, includes buffet supper.
