DOORS: 17:30 | FILM STARTS: 17:45
We’re thrilled to be working with Clifton Observatory for the first time this autumn; this iconic landmark overlooking Clifton Suspension Bridge and Avon Gorge plays host to our new Spirit Of Cinema screenings. We’ll be pairing classic films with great drinks from indie suppliers, starting with local legends - and the Festival’s gin partner - 6 O’Clock Gin!
6 O’Clock Gin is a family-run, craft gin brand just north of Bristol with over 30 years’ experience in the spirits industry. They patiently distil strikingly smooth artisan gins in small batches, using traditional skills and only the best natural ingredients. Proudly British, they're clear about our values; dedicated to reducing their carbon footprint whilst maintaining product quality, their solar powered gin still is the heart of the business and ensures the delicious gin is made with sustainability in mind.
For our first Spirit Of Cinema screening we have selected the hit musical La La Land; with a particularly dreamy sequence set in another iconic observatory, it’s the ideal fit to let your own spirits soar…
Your ticket includes two premium Gin & Tonics, each made with a different 6 O’Clock gin.
