OffBeat Presents:
Ship Hotel: Tyne Main
New Event! Following on from our sold out screening of The Moon and The Sledgehammer in January, OffBeat is back at The Walthamstow Trades Hall this time screening the 1967 documentary Ship Hotel: Tyne Main. This film, also directed by Philip Trevelyan, shows the day in the life of a pub (which is belief is still there now called The Ship Inn in ) frequented by Tyneside miners and engineers. It’s a pleasure to watch and we’re very privileged to be able to screen it for you. The event takes place on the 10th of March at the Walthamstow trades hall. Tickets are £8 and, as usual, there will be cheap pizza (courtesy of Yard Sale), cheap beer (courtesy of Walthamstow Trades Hall) and great music and films (courtesy of OffBeat).
Doors open at 7:00pm, films start at 8:00pm

What is OffBeat Folk Film Festival?
The festival is dedicated to showcasing films that explore Britain’s rich cultural history, shining a light on new works that capture contemporary folk practice and living traditions. We are looking for submissions of new films that show Britain’s traditional, folk or working culture - whether it’s miners, shepherds, street performers, or pub musicians, these are the stories that really shape Britain’s identity and we want to celebrate them.
