“An ingeniously plotted, tremendously entertaining and deviously irreverent crowd-pleaser […] A treat from start to finish”
DOORS: 19:30 | FILM STARTS 19:40
Now in its third year, our open-air, undercover garden cinema event returns — bigger and better than ever!
Taking place in the beautiful Mall Gardens in the heart of Clifton Village, this is outdoor cinema with a twist. Relax in the Central Arena before the film, with drinks, art displays, tastings and local food vendors, then make your way into one our two cinema spaces for the main event. With covered seating, a state-of-the-art LED screen and wireless headphones, enjoy your film come rain or shine - it's a Summer experience that’s not to be missed.
Vintage Screenings pair classic films with thematically linked wine tastings - usually held in Averys Wine Merchants’ historic wine cellar, this July the Vintage Screenings are going on tour, to Screen 2 in The Mall Gardens. Following a sparkling wine on arrival, the film will be accompanied by a tasting of four carefully selected wines courtesy of Averys’ resident experts, guiding you through them at stages during the film.
Our weekend of Vintage Screenings concludes with the wickedly entertaining whodunnit hit Knives Out. In true murder mystery fashion, we’re not going to tell you the wines in advance – one of them will be an ‘odd wine out’, and with a few tasting note clues along the way, it’s up to you to work out which wine it is, and make Benoit Blanc proud!
