Over 75 years ago the MV Balmoral was built and launched in the historic and iconic Southampton docks. Now, in 2025, the ship will return to familiar ports and piers around the UK coastline where it once visited. However, this time it will arrive not by water but by screen...
Join us for a special screening of Balmoral, the latest film by director Harry Knight and producer Maria Webb of Falling Films.
As historic ships vanish from British waters, a group of passionate volunteers fights to save the Balmoral—a 1949 passenger vessel moored in Bristol’s iconic harbour—battling time, bureaucracy, and financial struggles to preserve a piece of maritime history before it’s lost forever.
After the screening, we will be joined by special guests to discuss the film and its themes (Why is this story important and what future does our heritage have?) as well as an opportunity to have a Q&A with the filmmakers.
