“Hugh Grant has grown up, holding on to his lightness and witty cynicism but losing the stuttering sherry-club mannerisms that were once his signature. In doing so, he has blossomed into the rare actor who can play a silver-tongued sleaze with a hidden inner decency”
DOORS: 18:30 | FILM STARTS 18:50
We’re partnering with our friends at Wiper and True in Q1 of 2026 for some more comedy screenings from the British Isles. Head to this award-winning local brewery’s taproom in Old Market and enjoy a free welcome pint from their draught range upon arrival, including delicious alcohol-free versions of their famous Kaleidoscope pale ale and Tomorrow lager. The taproom is open after the film ends.
Our February screening at Wiper & True is the adaptation of Nick Hornby’s bestselling novel About A Boy. It’s one of Hugh Grant’s finest performances as he plays a much more cynical antihero than his foppish 90s romcom persona, with a double act alongside a young Nicholas Hoult in his breakthrough role. At turns both laugh-out-loud funny and achingly poignant, it’s a bittersweet misadventure with plenty of heart for those seeking a less saccharine spin on a feel-good film for February!
NB: this screening will be subtitled
Please note that this event is strictly for over-18s only

About The Location
The Taproom, Old Market, is a destination venue for beer lovers.
Super-fresh beer, expertly served by Wiper & True’s highly trained team. Sweeping, expansive views onto monolithic, gleaming silver fermentation vessels. A vast beer garden replete with gently swaying grasses, towering floral spires and gently rustling trees. More plants than you can shake a stick at. All this and more are waiting for those in the know on a small industrial estate sandwiched between Old Market and Easton.
