Our last members' social of the year may very well be the most wonderful one of all.
On Sunday 15 December, join us to mingle with fellow film fans over a warming mulled wine or oat hot chocolate in The Garden Bar. While you're sipping away, you'll get to enjoy the first (and possibly last!) ever performance by the Garden Cinema Christmas Collective; our fantastically talented Front of House team, featuring many familiar faces, are joining forces to bring you some festive musical delights - think jazzy Christmas, rather than classic caroling.
Afterwards, sink into our cosy seats for The Apartment, a film which has been proposed by a plethora of members over the years;
Barbara: 'This 62 yo, gorgeous, sweet , funny, romantic, often dark, though beautifully acted Christmas film deservedly won 5 Oscars (nominated for 10?) – including Best Picture. It would be such a treat to watch this festive masterpiece on ‘the big screen’ in December, in which ultimately love triumphs over loneliness and sadness – and fills human hearts with hope and joy. This is a truly great film.'
Jacqueline: 'The Apartment is a brilliantly written, melancholy film set at Christmas time with the two lead actors at the top of their game. I never tire of watching it and this is the perfect time of year to do so.'
Giselle: 'The Apartment (1960) with Jack Lemon and Shirley MacLaine. Was surprised to see it’s set at Christmas time, I’d love to see it again, it’s been such an age. And what better place than at the Garden Cinema!'
Tickets for the social and screening of The Apartment are £16.50 each, and restricted to 2 per member, meaning you can bring a friend along for the occasion. A complimentary oat hot chocolate or mulled wine is included in the ticket, as well as an unallocated seat for the film.
