IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT at Averys Wine Cellars — Bristol Film Festival (2024)

DOORS: 18:45 | FILM STARTS 19:00

Vintage Screenings pair classic films with thematically linked wine tastings to create unique evenings in the stunning setting of Averys Wine Merchants’ historic wine cellar. Following a sparkling wine reception, the film will be accompanied by a tasting of four carefully selected wines courtesy of Averys’ resident experts, guiding you through them at stages during the film.

This November, we’re celebrating the 90th anniversary of one of the all-time great comedies,It Happened One Night. Frank Capra’s screwball romcom prototype is one of only three films to date to win ‘The Big Five’ at the Oscars – Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Actor and Best Actress – so we’re pairing it with wines from around the world that have won a similarly impressive number of awards and accolades.

Take your evening further with our add-on options:

• Enjoy ‘An Introduction To Wine Tasting’ before the main event as you learn more about wine tasting over a glass

• Indulge with a delicious deli box from Native Vine, with cheeses, chutney and crackers to enjoy alongside your film and wine
