Trailer Drops for Richard Bracewell’s Heartfelt British Comedy Chicken Town

Verve Pictures has released the official trailer for Chicken Town, a charming and offbeat British comedy directed by Richard Bracewell. Set for release on June 27, 2025, the film introduces a colorful cast of characters in a sleepy East England town, and stars Ethaniel Davy, Amelie Davies, Graham Fellows, Ramy Ben Fredj, Hugo Carter, and Everett Gaskin. With its quirky premise and big-hearted storytelling, the film promises a wholesome yet humorous take on friendship, family, and unexpected adventures.

 

Chicken Town follows two misfit schoolfriends (played by Davy and Davies) who discover their elderly neighbor and reluctant partner-in-crime — a green-thumbed grandad (Graham Fellows) — has accidentally cultivated a shed full of weed on his allotment. What begins as a reluctant alliance to fence the accidental crop quickly evolves into a unique cross-generational bond. The trio’s misadventures become a hilarious journey of finding purpose and connection in a town where nothing much ever happens.

 

Filmed on location in the Fens and Norfolk, Chicken Town captures the muted charm of rural Britain while injecting it with warmth and whimsy. Director Richard Bracewell, known for his work on Bill and The Gigolos, teams up with writer Patrick Dalton for a screenplay that blends light-hearted comedy with a quietly poignant look at loneliness and belonging. The film embraces themes of friendship across generations and how even the most unconventional circumstances can lead to the discovery of an unexpected chosen family.

 

With its heartfelt tone, rich character dynamics, and a generous dose of British eccentricity, Chicken Town is shaping up to be one of the year's sleeper hits. Whether you're in it for the laughs, the lovable oddballs, or the slice-of-life storytelling, this is a small-town tale with a big heart — and maybe just a hint of herbal mischief.
