People’s Emergency Briefing Screening

Join Sustainable Warminster for a screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing – an eye-opening film bringing together nine leading UK scientists and experts with the latest evidence and why it matters for things like:

🌧️ Extreme weather
🍞 Food security
🏥 Health
💷 Cost of living

The film is based on the National Emergency Briefing in Westminster (featured by ITV, Channel 4 and The Times) with appearances from Chris Packham, Deborah Meaden, and a range of voices from across the UK.

After the film there will be a short open discussion about what it means for our community and what we can do locally.

We will be inviting Dr Andrew Murrison MP, along with local town councillors, and are optimistic that they will join with constituents for this important discussion about our future.
Bring a friend, neighbour or family member: everyone is welcome.

Note: the film is only being shown at in-person screenings and is not available online.

Age limit guidance: 16+

Dark Skies talk poster

Discover why the glow of artificial light at night is doing far more harm than obscuring the stars. This talk explores how light pollution disrupts human health, drives dramatic declines in bird and insect populations, and can impact entire ecosystems. You’ll also learn why and how the solutions are refreshingly simple and can also save you money.

Join Sustainable Warminster for this special talk on 14 April 2026 at 7pm, where the Cranborne Chase National Landscape team will be speaking.

£2 entry on the door.

Cranbourne Chase National Landscape

Invitation to Cranborne Chase National Landscape 2026 Annual Forum

Cranborne Chase in 2050 – with an eye on the future.

This event is looking ahead to what the National Landscape might be like in 2050, considering long-term sustainability, conservation, and community impact.

Tuesday, 27 January 2026, Dinton Village Hall, SP3 5EB, 9:30am to 4pm.

At the forum, there will be opportunities to learn about the work already being done in the National Landscape, contribute your own ideas and influence future planning. As well as explore trends and disruptions (e.g., climate change, land use, technology, social changes) that could affect the landscape, and discuss legacy, and how today’s actions will shape the environment and community for future generations.

Unlike a traditional presentation, this year’s forum will be interactive: encouraging discussion, collaboration, and imagination about possible futures.
