Catch a dose of cinema in a fabulous setting
The delightful Star & Mouse Picture Show is back with more open air cinema treats for us to enjoy this month, bringing a whole host of film screenings in different locations. A ‘trinket cinema’ – so called because the whole thing packs down into vintage suitcases – run by a local couple, Star & Mouse go the extra mile at their cinema nights, laying on live entertainment, tasty food and drinks, deckchairs and general vintage loveliness.
There’s a busy line-up planned for August, beginning on the 4th, when Bourn’s quirky gastropub The Willow Tree will be the setting for a showing of Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo & Juliet, and musical extravaganza La La Land on the second screen. At the same venue, the next night, choose between The Great Gatsby and Singin’ in the Rain, and on the 6th, there’s another sumptuous Baz Luhrmann offering, Moulin Rouge (plus Big Fish). Over at Barrington Hall, catch Love Actually or The Grand Budapest Hotel (11th) and then Top Gun or Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (13th). While at Lanwades Hall you can see Top Gun and Mamma Mia on 19 August.
We love the look of The Theory of Everything screening on the 24th, meeting at Scudamore’s Punt Station for a short punt trip to the venue. It’s the same format for Notting Hill (25th), Pirates of the Caribbean (26th), Breakfast at Tiffany’s (27th) and Gladiator (28th).
As well as the action on the big screen, all events will offer plenty of additional fun, plus a pop-up bar and kitchen. Tickets can be booked via the Star & Mouse website.
