The gala premiere is raising vital funds for Women's Aid, and the charity is able to offer its supporters the opportunity to come along to this special evening for just £25 each.

Tickets are limited for this gala event and tickets for seats are available directly from the Apollo cinema – BOOK NOW to avoid disappointment.

The film will be followed by a panel discussion hosted by Women's Aid Ambassador, Sky Sports presenter and one of our fabulous 10th Anniversary Charity Challengers, Charlie Webster.

Charlie will be interviewing the film's producer about the theme of domestic violence in the film, and a survivor of domestic violence will also be on the panel to discuss the issues. They will also be joined on the panel by Women's Aid Ambassador and actor Bill Ward, who is best known for his role playing domestic violence perpetrator, Charlie Stubbs, in Coronation Street.
