The historic Clifton Observatory plays host to Bristol Film Festival 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 BFF 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!
This March BFF are celebrating two cult comedies that are both turning 25 in 2023, starting with the outrageous romcom There’s Something About Mary. Ben Stiller and Cameron Diaz shine as the former high school sweethearts driven apart by fate; their efforts to reunite will have you simultaneously laughing out loud and watching through your fingers…!

ABOUT THE LOCATION
Established in 1766, Clifton Observatory is an iconic landmark and an integral part of the Bristol landscape. The Observatory has had a long and varied history, but one thing has remained consistent over the centuries: the spectacular and unforgettable views of Bristol, Avon Gorge, and the Clifton Suspension Bridge.
In 2015, the Observatory underwent a major restoration. Over the past few years. Today, it’s home to the 360 café, a museum featuring a rare Victorian-era Camera Obscura, and the atmospheric and mythical Giant’s Cave.
