We know the latest film version of "Sense and Sensibility" hits cinemas this Thursday but why not wait a little longer to experience this beautiful love story in an equally beautiful setting - the heritage James Theatre Dungog.

If impulse control isn't your thing, come for your second, third, fourth viewing!

Showing Saturday 14 November at 7pm
