The Favourite brings together comedy and biography with stunning cinematography, all with the backdrop of the glorious gardens of The Gonville Hotel, this is not to be missed.
 
In the early 18th century, England is at war with the French. Nevertheless, duck racing and pineapple eating are thriving. A frail Queen Anne occupies the throne, and her close friend, Lady Sarah, governs the country in her stead, while tending to Anne's ill health and mercurial temper. When a new servant, Abigail, arrives, her charm endears her to Sarah. Sarah takes Abigail under her wing, and Abigail sees a chance to return to her aristocratic roots.
 
“The Favourite is a wildly entertaining, bracingly cynical comedy of royal manners directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. It's a farce with teeth” - The NY Times.
 
We will be joined by some of Cambridge's best local musicians who will be getting you into the mood before the screening starts alongside our incredible food vendors, Arepa’s Station, sharing the Latin flavours of Venezuela street food with delicious gluten-free Arepas. We also have our brand new bar where BrewBoard will be serving their stunning craft beer, so keep your picnics at home.
 

Enchanted Cinema is back for its 5th-year of inner-city cinematic magic. They return this year to one of their favourite venues, The Gonville Hotel’s magical gardens, in the centre of our beautiful city.

These guys are all about creating an original and vibrant cinema scene that offers an exciting way to watch a great film. Expect to be wowed by a short film before each screening, magical light installations and live music from local artists. These events are set to be the most magical of the summer.
