“As formally audacious as it is narratively brilliant, ‘Rope’ connects a powerful ensemble in service of a darkly satisfying crime thriller from a master of the genre”
DOORS: 18:30 | FILM STARTS 18:45
We’re returning to Goldney Hall Orangery for some of the finest crime thrillers ever to grace the silver screen! This beautiful venue, hidden on the edge of Clifton Village, plays host to our showings of classic whodunnits, murder mysteries and sleuth stories. It’s the perfect fit, after all - keen-eyed guests may recognise the Orangery as where John Watson held his wedding reception in the hit BBC series Sherlock…
This October we’re bringing two of Alfred Hitchcock’s criminal classics to the Orangery, starting with a 75th anniversary screening of the taut psychological thriller Rope. Taking place in real time and one of the first films to use long takes to create the illusion of a single take, this grisly tale of an attempt to commit the ‘perfect murder’ is as technically brilliant as it is gripping!
Make sure to read the ‘Getting Here’ tab at the bottom of this page; like key clues in so many detective stories, the Orangery is hiding in plain sight, and it’s easy to miss…!

About The Location
18th Century Goldney House and Gardens are nestled in the heart of beautiful Clifton Village and set within its own walled gardens. The secret garden includes a gothic tower, grotto, bastion, a rotunda and ornamental canal and Orangery. The Orangery, which overlooks these tranquil gardens, is home to our murder mystery film series - a fitting location, since the venue was famously used as John Watson’s wedding venue in the beloved Sherlock TV series!
