Ever wanted to bring your crochet to the cinema, but it's just too dark? Work on that knitted scarf but worried about annoying the person next to you? Look no further because Craft Cinema Night is the night for you!
Unlike traditional cinema experiences, the lights will be gently dimmed to allow you to both enjoy the movie AND continue crafting. A pre-event meet-up is also included if you’re coming alone or want to meet other crafters beforehand.
Movies: Home Alone AND How the Grinch Stole Christmas
Movie start time: 6.30pm (no ads/trailers)
Runtime: 1h43m, 20 min break, 1h45m
Movie end time: approx. 10.20pm
Notes:
All craft types are welcome, just remember it must fit within your booked seat (unfortunately that means no sewing machines!). Please also ensure no 'craft mess' is left behind
This cinema is a licensed venue and snacks/drinks can be purchased from the bar
Seats are not allocated - cinema doors open 30 minutes before showing, please arrive in time to choose seats with your group
This cinema is wheelchair accessible. Please get in touch if you have accessibility requirements
