When my friends told me it cost them £15 to go watch the Wolf of Wall Street this weekend, even though I’m a huge fan of the film, I was compelled to find somewhere SOMEWHERE that provided a much cheaper solution to watching great films for less. So, luckily I stumbled across Vauxhall Village.
Back for a second season, this company bring the big screen to original and unusual locations. This time round they’re turning a disused railway arch in Vauxhall into the tunnel of love for one weekend only. From the 13th 16th February film fans can come down to a mixture of screenings, ranging from the quirky art house and indie flicks, to the old school classics, as it seems that there’s something to suit all tastes!
So here’s the schedule:
February 2014
Thursday 13th – 7.30pm – Annie hall
Friday 14th –7.30pm – Romeo + Juliet (Baz Luhrmann)
Saturday 15th –2pm -Moonrise kingdom 4.30pm– Lost in translation 7.30pm – Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind
Sunday 16th –2pm – Brief encounter 4.30pm– Breakfast at tiffany’s 7.30pm – Casablanca
Who are Vauxhall Village?
Vauxhall Village have previously brought us outdoor summer screenings in the pleasure gardens and festive delights in the railway arch, this time round love is definitely in the air. So its a great place to head down early to soak up the atmosphere, with friends, your other half, your family or your next door neighbour’s cat. They’ve got a bar so you can sip champagne cocktail, in aid of Valentines day you can pick your loved one up some flowers at the flower stall, or just treat yourself to some chocolate fondue! Sounds like much more of a fun night out I think!
The films are being shown on a big screen at the back of the arch, comfy chairs, wireless headphones and cosy blankets will be provided.
Tickets – £7.50 from www.wegottickets.com/vauxhallvillage with profits going to local homeless charity Thames Reach (even better!)
Make your Valentines day that little different this year and watch some fantastic films!
