Monty Python's Life of Brian - Presented by Michael Palin

3.30pm Start.

Run-time approx 1hr 50mins including introduction.



As part of our day-long celebration of Monty Python legend Terry Jones, join us for a rare big-screen showing of his most acclaimed and best-loved film – Life of Brian.



Hailed as one of the greatest British comedies ever made, Life of Brian earned international awards and acclaim for its razor-sharp wit, unforgettable performances, and fearless satire that still resonates today. Directed by Jones, it remains the jewel in the Monty Python crown and a fitting tribute to his brilliance as a filmmaker.

To make the occasion even more special, this screening will be introduced in person by Sir Michael Palin – Terry’s close friend, collaborator, and fellow Python.



Top Comedy Historian and Terry’s friend Robert Ross will also be on hand to sign copies of his brand-new book Seriously Silly: The Life of Terry Jones.

A must-have for any fan, this definitive book celebrates Jones’s extraordinary contribution to comedy and film culture.

Signing takes place at The Penta Hotel, Reading between 6pm & 7.30pm. (Just 2mins from The Hexagon).

At the Penta, Robert will be chatting informally, signing books, and sharing some of his stories from British comedy history.

Books will be available to buy on-site (card only).

Free Event - No need to book, just turn up.



Whether you’re revisiting this masterpiece or discovering it afresh, seeing Life of Brian on the big screen with an audience – and with Palin’s personal tribute – is an unmissable experience.
