 Yeovil Community Arts Assocaition are hosting the event, with a red-carpet reception & screening at Yeovil College. South Somerset District Council's arts development office are also supporting the event, with proceeds going to St Margaret's Somerset Hospice.

GRACE's creative director Ray Tostevin (the film's writer & director) will be there to introduce the film - together with composer Stephen Daltry, who will also play excerpts from the score. Producer Lynn Rothwell will also be among VIP guests.

Ray said: "We're delighted at the YCAA's support - and grateful to Yeovil College and the local council's arts development team for their very generous sponsorship in kind of the event. The College's catering students are arranging the canapes and refreshments. We're looking forward to a glitzy red-carpet film premiere to make the town proud.

"Our Charlotte premiere is being seen as a springboard for other future community film screenings in south Somerset."
