Screenings are at the Sydenham Centre (above ignition brewery / the post office ) and drinks, local beers from ignition beer & nibbles are available on the night.

9: Downstairs at St.Christopher’s shop (https://www.stchristophers.org.uk/ and @StChrisHospice) - next to Kirkdale Books & opposite The Greyhound - has a small treasure trove of vinyl. Pair it with a trip to Sugahill Cafe to inadvertently buy more music then intended.
