We're delighted to offer 25 Mumsnetters (with a plus one) the chance to attend an exclusive Mumsnet preview screening of the acclaimed new film, Suffragette, on Friday 9th October - in London. This is in association with Meerkat Movies

"Every daughter should know this history, every son write it on his own heart" (Meryl Streep)
"The Best Film of the Year" (Elle)
"The Most Important Film of the Year… A Must-See" (Stylist)

Here's the film's synopsis:

"With an all-star cast including Carey Mulligan, Helena Bonham Carter, Brendan Gleeson, Anne-Marie Duff, Ben Whishaw and Meryl Streep as Emmeline Pankhurst, SUFFRAGETTE tells the remarkable untold true story of the real foot soldiers of the Suffragette movement. These women were not primarily from the genteel educated classes, they were working women who had seen peaceful protest achieve nothing. Radicalised and turning to violence as the only route to change, they were willing to lose everything in their fight for equality - their jobs, their homes, their children and their lives. A story told by women, about women, that everyone should see…Mothers take your daughters, daughters take your mothers, women take your men!"

Watch the trailer below



This special MN preview screening on Friday 9th October will be held in central London, near Oxford Circus - with a 6 for 6.30pm prompt start time.

The film is on general release in Cinemas from Monday 12th October - find out more and book your seats here: //www.suffragettemovie.com #suffragette

Please note - you'd need to make your own way to the screening, late comers will not be admitted and there will be no mobile phone/video camera/camera use permitted in the theatre. Max of 2 per MNer (Note: film is rated 12a. Note the guidance here if you wanted to bring a child aged 11 or under). Please state on the form who you will bring with you.

In return we want you to return to Mumsnet after the screening and to add your film review. We'd also love it if you could tweet your review using #suffragette.
Everyone who posts their feedback on the thread on Mumsnet will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £200 John Lewis voucher.

If you'd like to attend please sign up here.

We'll be in touch with selected attendees soon.

12 A doesn't mean under 12's . The A means under 12's must be accompanied by an adult.

Re the 12A rating - As another poster said, doesn't 12A mean that if a child is under 12 they have to be accompanied by an adult?

I have a 9yr old who would love to see this film. Would they not be permitted at this preview screening?

I'd love to be picked. My grandmother was a suffragette, and although she died when I was too young to understand any of it, she is a legend in my family!
Plus I've just had major surgery so need entertaining!

Have amended it so you can bring an under 12 if you think the film will be ok for them (subject to BBFC guidance (see OP)

I would enjoy attend Preview of Suffragette in central London, It wonderful to watch film about British women who changed the course of history.

Personally, I think this film should be something that all young men and women are made to watch. History moves in cycles, as my old teacher used to tell us... and she was right. I genuinely despair at my 19 year old DD's outlook on life ("only date men with money, and OMG, I can't go anywhere... my eyeliner's smudged!!!") - but I also know that it's horrifically common amongst her generation. We're sliding back into the part of the cycle where women were/are ruled by men and have lost all rights again (Viking women, for example, had rights, were considered equals to the men - and then the cycle shifted...). It needs to be halted. Somehow.

My grandmother's aunt was involved in the Suffragette Movement. She was partially raised by a woman (my great-great-great-grandmother) who owned her own property in a rural backwater, and ran a business from it in her own right, during the late 19th century. In their market town, my g-g-g-grandmother was the only woman to do so, at that time.

They'd be spinning in their graves when it comes to my DD and her peers...

Irregardless of whether chosen, or not, I will be taking my 10 year old DS to see it, and I will be encouraging my DD to go and see it, too. She might pay attention if "celebs" are endorsing the message of equality and independence from a patriarchal rule/society for women... because she refuses to listen to me!

Yes it is something all generations need to be reminded of.
The previous poster's DD at least has choices now,( far more than she would have had in the 1970's) and it all started with the suffragettes.
I would love to see the film!

Why, why, why are these things always in London? Some of us have to work full time, and therefore never get a chance. :(

Wow! Great offer. I would love to go and take my 15 y/o. We've been talking about the film and she is very interested, she loves History and is very pro women's equality.

We both love films, just booked to see the new Macbeth film with Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard, so would love an opportunity to see Suffragette.
