Ferring Community Cinema: The Ballad of Wallis Island
Ferring Community Cinema, Worthing
An eccentric lottery winner (Tim Key), who lives alone on a remote island, tries to make his fantasies come true by getting his favourite musicians back together to perform for him. When the musicians, McGwyer and Mortimer, played by Tom Basden and Carey Mulligan, accept, old tensions are bound to resurface.
Key and Basden, who have collaborated on many comedy projects, wrote the script for this film, which is described as a funny and melancholic piece of work. It looks to be a very enjoyable watch.
The film will be showing at Ferring Village Hall. Tickets are £6 and available at the North Ferring Co-Op, the Premier Stores in South Ferring, and on the door on the night. Ticket price includes tea, coffee or a soft drink, and biscuits. Doors open at 6.30pm for a prompt 7pm start.

The Ballad of Wallace Island
Ferring Community Cinema, Worthing
Ferring Community Cinema will be showing their next film, ‘The Ballad of Wallis Island’ on Friday 13th February 2026.
An eccentric lottery winner, who lives alone on a remote island, tries to make his fantasies come true by getting his favourite folk duo back together. Problem is, they haven’t seen each other, or performed together, for years. When they are finally reunited their meeting isn’t harmonious and the hoped for performance looks increasingly unlikely.
This British comedy-drama stars Carey Mulligan and Tom Basden and was filmed in Pembrokeshire, Wales.
Co-written by Tom Basden, the writer of the BBC comedy ‘Here We Go’, The Ballad of Wallis Island provides a mix of music and comedy and has been described as feeling like ‘a warm hug’ – a perfect film for February.
The film will be showing at Ferring Village Hall. Tickets are £6 and available at the North Ferring Co-Op, the Premier Stores in South Ferring, and on the door on the night. Ticket price includes tea, coffee or a soft drink, and biscuits. Doors open at 6.30pm for a prompt 7.00pm start.
