Chicken Town

Richard Bracewell | 2025 | 89 MINS

Two school-friends join forces with a green-fingered granddad to fence a shed of cannabis that the old man has accidentally grown on his allotment.

In Detail

The “badlands” of East Anglia. A young man is released from prison after serving time for a crime he didn't commit. Broke and looking for answers, Jayce goes into business with the elderly neighbour of his childhood friend.

In doing so, he becomes embroiled in a scheme to sell a large amount of cannabis grown in his neighbour’s allotment and stored in his shed. When their covert activities attract the unwanted attention of some local dimwit hoodlums, who have noticed a drop in demand for their own stash, they are forced to confront their past mistakes, discovering a mutual respect they never thought possible.

An unmistakably British comedy caper.

Stars Graham Fellows, Laurence Rickard (‘Horrible Histories’, ‘Ghosts’) and Alistair Green (‘Ted Lasso’, ‘Flowers’).

The Sun

'Likable and lovingly made. Rowdy and cheerful. Calling to mind Shane Meadows '
