The "Green" Queen Returns: Saving Grace Remastered – A Proper North Cornwall Night at The Regal!
Date: Saturday, 14th March 2026 | Time: 7:30 PM Tickets: Wadebridge Regal Website | Supporting: Young & Talented Cornwall
Twenty-six years ago, the streets of Wadebridge were buzzing as stars and locals alike gathered at The Regal Wadebridge for the British Premiere of a homegrown masterpiece. This March 2026, we are bringing it home.
As the headline event of the very first Polzeath Community Film Festival, we are proud to present a special screening of the 2000 cult classic Saving Grace—now looking better than ever in a stunning new digital remaster.
Why this is a night not to be missed:
The Creator Returns: We are delighted to welcome producer and co-writer Mark Crowdy for a live post-screening Q&A. Mark will be sharing stories from the set and more.
A Piece of Cinema History: This isn't just any old British comedy; it’s the origin story of a global phenomenon. Watch Martin Clunes as the "GP from hell," Dr. Martin Bamford—the character that directly inspired the hit series Doc Martin and now, in the USA, Best Medicine.
Spot the Locals: Filmed at St Endellion, Port Isaac, Boscastle, and Trebarwith Strand, the film is a love letter to the North Cornwall coastline. From Wetherham Manor to the familiar faces in the village scenes, see how many local "extras" and landmarks you can recognise!
Community Spirit: Sponsored by Polzeath Walks and Billy’s Beach Art, this final festival screening aims to bring the community together for a night of laughter and nostalgia. While the event celebrates our local history, it also looks to our future—all charitable collections on the night will benefit Young & Talented Cornwall (The Lord Lieutenant’s Fund), helping the next generation of Cornish creatives achieve their dreams.
Come and celebrate the film that really put North Cornwall on the map on Sat 14th March!
The Polzeath community film festival week is based at the Tubestation in Polzeath and ends with Saving Grace at the cinema in Wadebridge.
