A feature film documenting all that is brilliant, and a little bit dodgy about Chorley is being shown again after packing out theatres on its release last year.

Chorley: Where People Go To Fight, the no budget, low thrills, feature length documentary starring Emmerdale star Joseph Gilgun and world champion boxer Michael Jennings is being screened on successive weekends at The Little Theatre.

The film was created by two young, local film-makers, Andrew Huddy and Ian Loughlin, who devoted hundreds of hours into creating the film, which features famous faces such as Kate Garraway, Dave Spikey and former Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown.

The film also stars many local personalities including Magic Sam, Dan the baker and Chorley’s answer to Tony Wilson, Imperial pub landlord Ivan Lynas.

The film generated almost £3,000 for Derian House at the three charity showings last October and Andrew and Ian have since re-edited the film, making it slightly shorter.
