THE BEATLES ON FILM EXHIBITION

29 March – 6 May at The Corn Hall Diss.

This exhibition will explore the cultural impact that The Beatles had in East Anglia through their ground-breaking use of film and video between 1963 and 1970.

It’s 60 years since Beatlemania exploded throughout the UK in 1963 and unable to keep up with demand for personal appearances, The Beatles pioneered the use of film and promotional videos to bring their music to the masses.

As part of the exhibition, we are interested to capture the memories of local people going to see the films A Hard Day’s Night or Help in the 1960s. If you have a Beatlemania story to tell, please drop us a line at The Corn Hall.

You can find the exhibition in the Upper and Lower Galleries at The Corn Hall  from Wednesday 29 March until Saturday 6 May. Click here to find out more
