Are you the person in your friend group who everyone asks for festive film recommendations? Do you know your Gremlins from your Grinch, and your Prancer from your Dancer? These skills you've been honing might just keep you off of Santa’s naughty list, because on Tuesday 16 December we're hosting our extremely jolly Members' Christmas Film Quiz! Join us for an evening of wintery and festive themed trivia questions, as well as a review of 2025 in cinema.

There will be presents up for grabs for the top 3 teams, donated by our generous friends at the North Pole:

• A selection of wintery reads to get cozy in front of the fire, from the London Review Bookshop 
• 5x Hotel Chocolat's Christmas Pocket Selection; eight delicious recipes, all ready for the Christmas season. One of each gives you the chance to try an array of festive flavours and textures.
• Free cinema tickets to get you through that dreary period between Christmas & New Year's Eve

There will also be a mulled bonus for the best team name.

We have space for 10 teams of max. 5 contestants each. Tickets are £5, and are restricted to 1 per member, so please make sure to be logged in and book quickly once ticket sales open on Thursday 27 November at 13:00.

Important info before booking:

• If you would like to be placed on a team with friends (who must also be members of the cinema), you can either:
  -  Purchase your tickets individually, and leave their names during the checkout process, so we can place you on the same team
  or
  -  Purchase tickets for the entire team, and assign each ticket to the individual team members (you will need to know their surname as well as the email address their membership is registered under, to do this)
• If you're joining by yourself, you will be placed on a Garden Cinema All Stars team - a great opportunity to meet fellow members!

Please note that any teams of 3 contestants or less may be merged together to allow as many members as possible to join.
