Adderbury Cine Club will be showing ‘The Christophers’ in The Institute. This is a Meals and Reels evening – doors open at 6.45 pm for the meal which starts at 7.00 pm and the film starts at 8.15 pm. The ‘Christophers’ is a comedy drama set in London about the art world. Julian Sklar (Ian McKellen) is an elderly acerbic, once famous, artist approaching his death. He’s best known for a series of portraits known as ‘The Christophers’. Two sets have been released and some are worth millions. Sklar began the third set, but never completed them.

Visitors welcome at £5.00.
