Step back in time to 19th century Peebles as seen through the eyes of local writer James Grosart. Grosart witnessed a period of great change: Peebles was a rural village when he was born in 1827 but by the time of his death in 1905 the railways had transformed it into a flourishing industrial town. Using Grosart’s warm-hearted and witty reminiscences, Julian Goodacre and a small cast of actors bring events and characters of the town to life, giving us fascinating glimpses into the lives of real people from the past as well as insights into Peebles as it is today.

Exhibition on Screen’s award-winning film – first released during covid to a restricted audience – is back by popular demand with an exciting new addition from the blockbuster transatlantic exhibition from Tate Britain and MFA Houston ‘Frida Kahlo: the Making of an Icon’. Back in the cinemas in June 2026, one month before the Tate exhibition opens, allowing audiences to watch both the film and see the show. Who was Frida Kahlo?

Making use of the latest technology to deliver previously unimaginable quality, we take an in-depth look at key works throughout her career. Using letters Kahlo wrote to guide us, this definitive film reveals her deepest emotions and unlocks the secrets and symbolism contained within her art.

Wracked with guilt, Albrecht visits Giselle’s grave, where he must face the Wilis – and Giselle’s ghost.

Step back in time to 19th century Peebles as seen through the eyes of local writer James Grosart. Grosart witnessed a period of great change: Peebles was a rural village when he was born in 1827 but by the time of his death in 1905 the railways had transformed it into a flourishing industrial town. Using Grosart’s warm-hearted and witty reminiscences, Julian Goodacre and a small cast of actors bring events and characters of the town to life, giving us fascinating glimpses into the lives of real people from the past as well as insights into Peebles as it is today.

The peasant girl Giselle has fallen in love with Albrecht. When she discovers that he is actually a nobleman promised to another, she kills herself in despair. Her spirit joins the Wilis: the vengeful ghosts of women hell-bent on killing any man who crosses their path in a dance to the death. Wracked with guilt, Albrecht visits Giselle’s grave, where he must face the Wilis – and Giselle’s ghost. Peter Wright’s 1985 production of this quintessential Romantic ballet is a classic of The Royal Ballet repertory. Set to Adolphe Adam’s evocative score and with atmospheric designs by John Macfarlane, Giselle conjures up the earthly and otherworldly realms in a tale of love, betrayal and redemption.

Two of Britain’s greatest painters, J.M.W. Turner and John Constable were also the greatest of rivals. Born within a year of each other, both used landscape painting to reflect the changing world around them.

Don’t miss this opportunity to see these greats side-by-side, as they so often were in life, on the big screen for the first time.

Critics compared their starkly different styles to a clash of ‘fire and water’. Marking 250 years since their births, this unmissable new documentary explores Turner and Constable’s intertwined lives and legacies alongside the groundbreaking Tate exhibition.
