SABATON: The War to End all Wars - The Screening

  • Thu 09 Nov 2023

  • 7PM - 10PM

A unique chance for music fans! We invite you to a special screening of The War to End all Wars - an animated film by Metal band Sabaton!

History Rocks - a unique charity project created by Sabaton, a globally acclaimed Swedish rock band, has been developed to assist museums across the globe with gaining visibility and garnering support from a new and untapped audience of heavy metal fans. Known for its factual storytelling abilities and educational songs about historical events, Sabaton’s enormous fan base (over 100 million listeners annually) consists of people of all ages and nationalities who are very passionate about history.

This event is suitable for those age 12 and over only, and is very restricted on numbers, so please book ASAP to avoid disapointment. This WILL NOT BE REPEATED.

Here, at Stow maries Great War Aerodrome, we will welcome you to the last remaining Great War Aerodrome functioning in the Europe to see this exciting and atmospheric film - in the place where the men of RFC and later RAF Stow Maries would have gathered to enjoy their precious time off, relaxing and enjoying their own favourite music. The original 1917 Airmens Mess. As well as enjoying the movine, maybe a snack, you will also get a chance for an after-dark guided viewing of our historic aircraft hangars. We are also happy to confirm that hugely popular local brewery Datum Attitude will be with us, with some great beers for you to enjoy.

IF you book quickly enough.

For your admission fee, you get

a) Access to the Mess to watch the film and enjoy the experience.

b) an after hours tour of the hangar of historic aircraft

c) a discount voucher (your ticket) to give you a reduced price admission to the site on any regular Friday, Saturday or Sunday (non-event day) before April 01 2024.

The thinking behind the project...

Sabaton is reaching out to museums around the world, both big and small, inviting them to join this global project and open their doors to millions of Sabaton fans across the globe – as well as all individuals passionate about history – by screening this movie on their premises. With this film, the band’s mission is to shed light on the importance of museums as a place to learn important facts about the history of mankind. Any revenue generated from this initiative goes straight back to the museums. Sabaton is a very motivated band that wants to give back to society by promoting education and history.

Now, following the making of this movie, the band strongly believes that it is more effective for it to be screened in museums spanning the globe than in cinemas, as this is an environment where Sabaton fans would really want to experience it.
