Very Vintage
A PANEL of judges from Douglas Licensing Court have granted Patchwork Cafe in Port St Mary permission to show matinee performances.
In an extension to the existing cinema supper club nights which run on Thursday evenings, owners Rich and Adrienne Ashcroft are now set to serve afternoon tea accompanied by a classic movie every Sunday afternoon.
‘The idea of enjoying a home made afternoon tea with friends whilst watching old movies sounded so utterly beguiling, we immediately knew we had to change our license’. Said Adrienne, 39, from Castleknock in Dublin, Ireland.
‘Because it’s afternoon tea and a classic film we decided to name the event ‘Vintage Sundays @ Patchwork.’ She continued.
Co-owner, Rich explained that within the classic film heading they intend to show absolutes - must see films - from genres such as film noir, romance, western, war, silent and fantasy.
‘Although, being such a small venue, we are always happy to take recommendations.’ He said.
Doors open at 4pm each Sunday and the price of £8.95 per person includes sandwiches, cream scones, cake selection and a pot of tea or coffee.
