Tom Grieve, Cinema Editor
Pop-up cinema purveyors, The Village Screen are fast becoming a regular visitors to Victoria Baths. So, following successful Valentine’s Day and Halloween events, it’s only natural that the event cinema specialists should return with a batch of festive features this December. For those of you who don’t know the drill, The Village Screen’s popular film events combine the best in local street food and drink vendors with themed décor and evergreen audience favourites for you to enjoy whilst sat in the unusual surroundings of a Victorian swimming pool.
This December sees food traders The Blue Caribou Canteen, Mac Daddies and Dim Sum Su rock up at the century old Victoria Baths to provide the refreshments alongside the five films scheduled to screen over the weekend. The tried and tested yuletide selections are: outlandish Will Ferrell comedy Elf; Disney smash hit musical Frozen; abandoned child delinquent heart-warmer Home Alone; Santa Claus courtroom classic Miracle on 34th Street and finally, the wintery ensemble romance, Love Actually.
We’re promised that the Grade II listed baths will be properly decked out for the occasion and the Village Screen DJ will be spinning Christmas tunes for you to enjoy alongside a glass of prosecco or a warming mulled wine. Just remember your hat, gloves, scarf and blanket – it can get chilly sat in the pool.
