Events away from the seafront are being staged for all the family this year as part of the 74th Liberation Day Celebrations.

In the morning, the Cinema club 'Clameur Du Cinema' will be hosting a free screening of To Be or Not to Be at Candie Gardens which begins at 10:00. 

"Start your Liberation Day with Clameur Du Cinéma's free screening of a classic WWII comedy starring Carole Lombard and Jack Benny.
