Read MoreBehind the Camo: What does the Army do?
Published 14/11/25, by Susan BraidleyEver wondered what life in the British Army is really like?
Behind the Camo is a four-part virtual event series that gives a real, honest look at life in the British Army. Each episode features serving soldiers answering questions people don’t usually ask - covering different topics like career options, daily life, and common myths. It’s a great opportunity to hear personal stories, explore the wide range of roles available, and see how Army life can be more supportive and rewarding than you might expect. Get insider knowledge, hear directly from those living Army life, and have your unanswered questions tackled.
In our first episode, we explore the Army’s core roles in defence, peacekeeping, and humanitarian missions, brought to life through personal stories from serving soldiers. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions live during the event, with our team on hand to respond in real time, giving you direct access to honest answers and real experiences from Army life.

Focusing on his unique creative process, Van Gogh: Poets and Lovers explores the artist's years in the south of France, where he revolutionised his style. Explore the passion which drove one of the world’s favourite artists to change art forever.

The Salt Path (12A)
Based on the controversial memoir by Raynor Winn, this is the story of how she and her ailing husband (played by Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs) set out on a 630-mile trek along the Cornish, Devon and Dorset coastline. After being evicted from their home, they make the desperate decision to walk in the hope that, in nature, they will find solace and a sense of acceptance. With depleted resources, only a tent and some essentials between them, every step along the path is a testament to their growing strength and determination.
