Win tickets to the premiere of Tortoise in Love at the newly re-opened Leicester Square!
THIS COMPETITION IS NOW CLOSED
On Thursday 24th May the streets of the picturesque Oxfordshire village of Kingston Bagpuize will be deserted as nearly the entire population will be in Leicester Square to see the fruition of a dream: the premiere of Tortoise in Love and we have two tickets to giveaway to one lucky winner!
Tortoise in Love is a charming and genuinely funny romantic comedy which has been specially selected to have a Premiere in the newly re-opened Leicester Square and will form part of the events to mark the occasion! In the year of the Queen's Jubilee this is a true celebration of British creativity, community spirit and something everyone in Kingston Bagpuize is rightly proud of and you could be there to celebrate this!
Tom, gardener at the big house, is not a fast mover with women. In fact he's glacially slow. When beautiful Polish au pair Anya arrives for the summer, Tom falls for her catastrophically like the felling of one of the giant trees he cares for in the manicured grounds. Tom's adviser in matters of the heart is young Harry, abandoned by the rich owners of the house to run wild in the gardens. Harry's secret wish is for the Red Arrows to appear at the village fair: Tom's is to win the heart of Anya. Both seem impossible dreams until the whole village decides to lend a hand.
Thick snow covered the little Oxfordshire village of Kingston Bagpuize when local writer Guy Browning decided the village should make a film. Almost four hundred villagers volunteered to make the film happen and the village rapidly became the unlikely setting for one of the freshest and funniest films of the last few years.
The entire cast and crew stayed with villagers, the Women's Institute organised catering on a vast scale and props, driving, costumes, make-up and a thousand other logistical tasks were all undertaken by a highly organised and frighteningly motivated army of villagers.
Tortoise in Love is out in cinemas on July 13th.
