Passport to Pimlico at 2 30 pm
Passport to Pimlico (1949) is a classic Ealing comedy where post-war Londoners in Pimlico discover their neighbourhood is legally part of Burgundy, France, not Britain. They declare independence, creating a rationing-free zone, leading to bureaucracy clashes with the government before deciding to rejoin Britain.
Councillor Surgeries
Chalfont St Peter Parish Councillors regularly hold surgeries at the library to meet with local residents who have an issue that they can help with.
Celfunde
On the first Saturday morning of each month, from 10am until 1pm, the library hosts a ‘local history surgery’ open to anyone interested in the history and heritage of Chalfont St Peter. The Celfunde Inheritance, the village’s local history and heritage group will welcome you with a cuppa and biscuits, if you’d like to share your knowledge of the village’s history, or to learn more, or if you have anything you’d like us to research on your behalf. We are particularly interested in hearing your memories and scanning old photographs of the village for posterity.
