Join Bristol Film Festival at Clifton Summer Screenings!
Taking place in the beautiful Mall Gardens in the heart of Clifton Village, this is outdoor cinema with a twist. With covered seating, a state-of-the-art LED screen and wireless headphones, enjoy your film come rain or shine - this is an outdoor experience that’s not to be missed.
Usually held in Averys Wine Merchants’ historic wine cellar, this year the Vintage Screenings are going on tour for the first time, and will be hosted in screen2 at Clifton Summer Screenings. Following a sparkling wine reception, each film will be accompanied by a tasting of four carefully selected wines courtesy of our resident experts.
Saturday evening’s Vintage Screening is the acclaimed romantic comedy Roman Holiday, which turned 70 last year. With her portrayal of a princess embarking on an incognito sightseeing trip of Rome, Audrey Hepburn became the first actress to win an Oscar, BAFTA and Golden Globe for a single performance. Naturally, we’ll be pairing it with Italian wines fit for royalty!
PLEASE NOTE: this screening is strictly for over-18s only.
