Travel back in time with innovative new immersive cinema experience
Coming our way on 29 September is UNITED, a dazzling collaboration between Cambridge Cocktail Weekend, the Cambridge International Jazz Festival, the Cambridge Film Festival and Neon Moon Burlesque & Cabaret Club. These local event architects are bringing together their considerable skills and creativity to design an event quite unlike anything the city has seen before.
Taking place in two hangars at IWM Duxford, guests will be treated to a fully-immersive night of entertainment which centres around the UK premier of Magpie, an independent UK film shot in East Anglia which tells the story of the friendly invasion of American troops in World War II. As well as a chance to watch the film, you can expect 1940s cocktails, pin-ups, delicious food from The Grill Sergeant, two live bands (a big jazz band to get dancing shoes out for, plus a ‘Puppini Sisters’ style trio to charm the audience), reenactors, Prosecco, and even an international Master of Ceremonies as Wing Commander for the night.
Get in the wartime spirit and don your finest 1940s garb, because a bottle of champagne is waiting for the best-dressed partygoer. The event is spearheaded by House of Cambridge, a new arts and entertainment brand for the city, which will be unveiling all sorts of events with wow factor over the coming months, so be sure to keep an eye on the website for updates.
Tickets are available at houseofcambridge.com/united and priced at £32.50 standard or £50 VIP, with a limited number of early bird tickets available at £28/£45 respectively.
