Wine & cheese tasting + In Bruges (18)

In the lead-up to Christmas, join us on Saturday 14 December for a brand new members' wine tasting, followed by an atypical festive film.

Our friend Maxwell Delaney from Moreno Wines will take us through the carefully curated winter wine selection, giving you a chance to try the new wines that will be added to our bar offerings soon - including those that are normally only available by the full bottle. He'll also introduce us to a surprise wine, which may or may not be added to our menu, pending your review!

We're also partnering up with local favourite Soho Dairy again, whose stall can be found over on Berwick Street Market (W1F 0PH). They are not only fiercely independent and community-orientated, but operate by hand, foot and cargo bike, making them virtually zero carbon. Alongside the wines, you will be able to try some of their excellent assortment of prize-winning cheeses, straight from independent UK dairy producers - just in time for your Christmas shopping!

After the tasting, we'll head into the screen for an unconventional Christmas feature, which was proposed by cinema members Joel and Ela: In Bruges. As Joel writes: 'I’d love to feel good about being bad this Christmas'!

The tasting will last approx. 2 hours and will include 6 servings of wine, as well as some delectable cheeses and other nibbles. If you have any dietary restrictions, please notify us by emailing membership@thegardencinema.co.uk at least 72 hours in advance, so we can take them into account.

Tickets for the wine & cheese tasting automatically include access to the screening, and are available for £35 each. They are restricted to 2 per member, making it the perfect opportunity to introduce a friend to the cinema. There's no need to book a separate ticket for the film - we will reserve a seat for all ticketholders of the tasting.

About the film:

When hitmen Ray and Ken (Farrell and Gleeson) are ordered to murder a priest in London, and the job goes wrong, they are told by their boss Harry (Fiennes) to lay low for a couple of weeks in the quaint city of Bruges, Belgium. However, Ray finds himself very much outside his comfort zone and his contrary ways lead him into increasingly dangerous situations with locals, tourists and a film crew. While Ken does his best to reign in Ray's behaviour, word reaches Harry that they have not been keeping their heads down as instructed and he decides to travel to Bruges himself to deal with the wayward pair.

If you'd like to see the film without attending the wine & cheese tasting, you can book a separate ticket for this here.
