Bolton Film Festival: VR & 360 + Q&A Event

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you can't make it for 4pm, that's fine – come join us for the Q&As later on!

Join us on a special field trip to the Bolton Film festival to sample their VR & 360 selections, before hearing from some of the talented people behind the works!

Bolton is less than 20 mins from Manchester by train, so we hope you'll all take the short hop to see us (as well as the films!).
