It is being hosted by the Longridge Environment Group and they said that local councillors have been invited to attend.

A spokesperson said: “Whether you’re concerned about rising food and energy prices, nature or local flooding; whether you’re a parent wondering what the future will be like for your children, a farmer noticing changing weather patterns, or a teacher wondering how to talk to concerned young people; whether you’re worried about climate change, not worried at all or wondering whether it’s even real… This film is essential viewing for everyone.”

The event is free to attend but you are asked to pick up your tickets so organisers can manage numbers.
