There will be prosecco at the Hassocks and visitors are encouraged to dress for the occasion.

A cinema spokesperson said: “We are fortunate to have been chosen for a pre-release of this film, and the director is planning to attend. It should be a fun event and promises to cheer us all up in these difficult Brexit days.”

Great in Britain is being released as a premiere film exclusively to village hall cinemas, community cinemas, pop-up cinemas, indie venues and one-off special events as part of its UK premiere tour.
