Working closely with the Bassett Family, we would like to welcome MEN working in farming and agricultural related businesses within our farming community to a steak night at The Anchor Inn, Exebridge from 6.30pm on Wednesday 4th November 2026.

Earlier this summer, the family sadly lost a dear brother, partner and uncle. At their request, we are arranging another steak supper evening. Please feel free to bring along a friend and we encourage you to invite friends, neighbours or others within the wider community who may not usually attend these events. A social evening to escape from the farm and meet up with like-minded people.

Cost: £20pp to include a steak with all the trimmings and a pudding.

Wednesday 30 September | 6:30pm | Arlington Court

Join us at Arlington Court for a free special preview screening of Derek and Derek, ahead of the film’s cinema release.

Set on a country road in Devon, the film follows two farmers with very different visions for the land. Intensive dairy farmer Derek Banbury is horrified by his neighbour’s decision to rewild his farm, while ex-sheep farmer and self-proclaimed “maverick rewilder” Derek Gow is determined to transform his land into an oasis for nature.

Shot over three years, the film charts their turbulent relationship as tempers fray, wild animals run amok and the landscape is transformed.

Made by award-winning director James Dawson, Derek and Derek explores land use, farming and the future of the countryside through the experiences of farmers themselves. It is blunt, funny and heartwarming in equal measure.

Book your tickets here.
