To celebrate the 50th anniversary, we’re pleased to present a special one-off screening of this award-winning and iconic film. Written in 1958 by Salford schoolgirl, Shelagh Delaney, A Taste of Honey was in the vanguard of British social-realist movies and director Tony Richardson made maximum use of the harsh urban landscape to create a gritty, uncompromising film about inter-racial sex, teenage pregnancy and homosexuality.

We are pleased to welcome A Taste of Honey lead actor Murray Melvin for a post-screening Q&A.

In partnership with The University of Salford

You should have asked Hazel Blears to pop along – she and her brother were both (very young) extras in it!
