The historic Clifton Observatory plays host to our Spirit Of Cinema screenings, which pair classic films with great gin-based drinks in partnership with our friends and local distilling legends Six O’Clock Gin. Join us in this intimate setting overlooking the Avon Gorge and Clifton Suspension Bridge, and (weather permitting) enjoy the stunning views day and night on the rooftop terrace before the film begins.
Your ticket includes a Gin & Tonic on arrival, as well as a gin-based cocktail served during a brief interval in the film. If you’ve got to drive, or gin isn’t to your taste, we offer non-alcoholic ticket option – enjoy the drinks with a premium non-alcoholic spirit alternative!
We’re at the Observatory on St. George’s Day this year for films inspired by great English writers; our final film of the evening is Shakespeare In Love. The romcom reimagining of Shakespeare’s life won seven Oscars, and cleverly blends in several Shakespearean storylines into a merry misadventure through Elizabethan London. If a G&T wasn’t quintessentially English enough, your second cocktail will really hit the spot!
Take your evening further with our add-on options:
• Indulge with a delicious deli box from Two Belly, with cheeses, chutney and crackers to enjoy alongside your film and wine
