WildingPG

Directed by David Allen | UK | 2024 | 1h 15m

At Knepp Castle in Sussex, conservation pioneers Isabella Tree and Charlie Burrell transform their 3,500-acre estate by abandoning industrial farming practices and allowing nature to “rewild.” By removing fences and relying on a mix of tame and wild animals, they initiate a groundbreaking experiment that has become one of the most significant rewilding projects in Europe. This documentary, based on Isabella Tree’s best-selling book, presents an hopeful story of how to combat and even reverse Britain’s declining biodiversity.

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
