After the concerning incidents during our Alfred Hitchcock and Al Pacino seasons, we're sad to announce yet another unfortunate occurrence at The Garden Cinema - this time involving low-life detectives, seductive femme fatales, and other iconic film noir characters.

Join us on Saturday 6 September to find out what happened in the shady alleyways and dark corners of the Atrium Bar, by hunting for clues, piecing together hints, and interviewing our suspects & witnesses - who may or may not be trustworthy.. Once you've cracked the case, you'll be invited to take your seat in the screen for our cinematic reveal, followed by a screening of the sizzling ‘80s classic neo-noir, Body Heat.

As the film’s Floridian heatwave is sure to get you sweating, tickets include a complimentary (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and suitably smoky daiquiri cocktail to quench your thirst.

Event timings:

19:00  Murder mystery and cocktails

20:30  Reveal & screening of Body Heat

22:45  Expected finish

Tickets include access to the murder mystery, a complimentary cocktail, and an unallocated seat for the film screening. They're £25 for members (restricted to 2 per member), and £27 at the regular adults' rate, meaning you can bring multiple friends along - the more brains, the better!

If you have any access needs or require a specific seat in the screen, please email membership@thegardencinema.co.uk so we can try to accommodate.

About the film:

William Hurt and Kathleen Turner strike sparks in this taut, South Florida-set tale of lust, greed, and murder that echoes 1940s film noir but is charged with a steamy passion that could only flare in the '80s. When libidinous but none-too-bright attorney Ned Racine (Hurt) begins an affair with Matty Walker (Turner), the beautiful wife of an unscrupulous tycoon, their desire to be together leads to thoughts of murder.
