A climate film screening has sold out in 24 hours.

The Brighton screening of The People’s Emergency Briefing, hosted by B Local Brighton, will take place at Komedia Picturehouse on Wednesday, April 23.

The film features Chris Packham, Deborah Meaden and Jennifer Saunders, alongside nine leading UK experts in climate science, health, food security and more.

Demi Heath, co-chair of B Local Brighton, said: "We wanted to create space for a calm local conversation about issues that increasingly affect all of us.

"The response has been extraordinary – selling out in a day tells you something about the appetite for this conversation in Brighton right now."

Based on last November’s National Emergency Briefing at Westminster Central Hall, the film reflects a growing national conversation around environmental challenges.

Brighton and Hove’s three MPs, councillors and representatives from Brighton’s business, faith, education, health and community networks have been invited to attend the screening, which will be followed by a short discussion on the implications for Brighton.

To meet demand, organisers are working to secure Komedia’s larger screen, with more tickets expected to be released on Monday, April 13.

Those joining the waitlist will be first to hear about all upcoming screenings.

The event is non-partisan and part of a UK-wide programme.
