A film revolving around the storyline of two best friends living on a caravan park is set to be released later this month.

The Scouting Book for Boys is based on two 14-year-old children called David and Emily who live on a caravan park on the coast of Norfolk.

As the plot evolves, Emily is forced to go on the run from police and hides with the help of David, who is played by Thomas Turgoose.

The film is released nationally on March 19th, but the Norwich Evening News reports that the Hollywood Cinema in Great Yarmouth will provide individuals with an early viewing.

Much of the film was shot around the Norfolk and Suffolk coast, taking in locations including Broadlands Sands Holiday Park, Holkham Bay and Trimmingham.

Writing a review for Den of Geek, Rupert de Paula remarks that the film is an “unexpected delight” and a “highly impressive British film that deserves to find a wider audience”.

The Scouting Book for Boys is written by Jack Thorne, with Tom Harper completing directing duties.
