The Castle Cinema presents: Silver Screenings! A free programme of Christmas films for Hackney residents aged 55+.

First up we have Christmas Classic - The Bishop's Wife!

When the careworn Bishop Henry Brougham (David Niven) becomes so obsessed with raising funds for a grand new cathedral that he neglects his lonely wife, Julia (Loretta Young), his prayers for guidance are answered in the most unexpected way. Enter Dudley (Cary Grant), a suave, charming angel sent from above. However, instead of helping build the church, Dudley sets about fixing the bishop's life—charming the local parish and bringing a long-forgotten joy and romance back into Julia's world, much to the bishop's soaring jealousy.

Cafe open from 10am
Ticket inclusive of tea & biscuits!
