Silver Screen – The Great Escape (1963)

Plus Afternoon Tea

Mon 4 Sept 2023

Join us for Afternoon Tea followed by a screening of classic WWII drama The Great Escape in the intimate surroundings of our first-floor Screen Room.

Imprisoned during World War II in a German POW camp, a group of Allied soldiers are intent on breaking out, not only to escape, but also to draw Nazi forces away from battle to search for fugitives. Among the prisoners determined to escape are American Captain Virgil Hilts (Steve McQueen) and British Squadron Leader Roger Bartlett (Richard Attenborough). Outwitting their captors by digging a tunnel out of the prison grounds, the soldiers find the stakes much higher when escape becomes a reality.

Doors will open from 12.30pm with Afternoon Tea served from 1pm in our Nineteen 58 bar. You will then be escorted to our Screen Room to watch the classic wartime drama from 2pm.

Please note: places for Silver Screen events are limited and must be booked in advance. Early booking is recommended.
