# Event Details - **Event Name**: Lesley Riddoch - Film followed by Q & A session - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 07 Feb, 2026 at 02:30 pm – Sat, 07 Feb, 2026 at 04:30 pm - **Event Description**: Yes Nairn presents screening of 'Finland: The happiest country that almost didn't exist'About this EventYes Nairn hosts a screening of 'Finland: The happiest country that almost didn't exist' plus a Q&A with journalist and broadcaster Lesley Riddoch.Finland has led the world happiness rankings for eight years, with excellent education, strong food security despite forest covering 70% of their landmass. This is remarkable for a country that almost disappeared in the last century through wars and invasion.Finnish happiness is quiet contentment built on trust and equality. Children face no national exams before the age of fifteen, homeless people are offered a home first, and one of the top tourist sites is also an open Pr*son. Helsinki residents are more likely to return a lost wallet than people in any other capital.For Scots like myself (based in Fife) and young Inverness-born filmmaker Gavin Hanigan (based in Helsinki), there are huge parallels between the two nationalities. The Finns like the Scots sometimes lack confidence, but the Finnish way of life is more equal, digital, cooperative and relaxed than almost anywhere else on earth – despite a constant state of war preparedness with Russia as their eastern neighbour.So in the dog-eat-dog, adversarial days of Donald Trump, the world might want to know more about the happy, equal, educated but still slightly awkward Finns. And now, with Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, Russian sabre rattling along Finland's border and their recent decision to join NATO - it seemed a good time to try and unravel Finland’s success.Film has run time of 60 minutes followed by a Q & A session with Lesley Riddoch.Tickets are limited. Ticket price of £5 includes Tea/Coffee. https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events6/banners/6c971770-f3ca-11f0-a0d9-23f031643b6b-rimg-w1200-h662-dcd6d5d4-gmir.jpg - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/nairn/lesley-riddoch-film-followed-by-q-and-a-session/100001980625675713 - **Event Categories**: entertainment, dog - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 5.9, max: 5.9, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Nairn - **state**: SC - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Nairn Community & Arts Centre - **lat**: 57.58563410000001 - **long**: -3.8706152 - **full address**: Nairn Community & Arts Centre, King Street, Nairn, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Lesley Riddoch - Film followed by Q & A session - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events1/banners/15dc2228551d7d8685b7407b9f7e748d864ab17bc3f42c810eabe89d2e1cb30e-rimg-w1200-h662-dcd6d5d5-gmir.jpg?v=1768671175 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Lesley Riddoch - Film followed by Q & A session being held? - **A:** Lesley Riddoch - Film followed by Q & A session takes place on Sat, 07 Feb, 2026 at 02:30 pm to Sat, 07 Feb, 2026 at 04:30 pm at Nairn Community & Arts Centre, King Street, Nairn, United Kingdom. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Lesley Riddoch - Film followed by Q & A session? - **A:** Tickets for Lesley Riddoch - Film followed by Q & A session are priced at GBP 6 per person.
