A 25th Anniversary Screening of a modern classic...

If the recent sequel has given you Gladiator fever, we have a treat in store for you in June 2025…

Join us as we celebrate the 25th anniversary of Ridley Scott’s Gladiator with a wine and pasta night fit for an emperor! This special Vintage Screening will be serving up six Italian wines to taste alongside the film, as well as a meal during the interval courtesy of Toff’s Pasta. It promises to be an epic evening.

Like most Vintage Screenings, it is hosted in the stunning setting of Averys Wine Merchants’ historic wine cellar, where you’ll enjoy a sparkling wine reception. The film will be accompanied by a tasting of carefully selected Italian wines courtesy of Averys’ resident experts, with an interval for an Italian feast of your very own - and for a film as epic as Gladiator, we’ll be pouring six Italian wines as opposed to the usual four!

After last year’s rave reviews we’re thrilled to be partnering again with local indie supplier Toff’s Pasta, who will be cooking a mouth-watering meal for you to dine on during the interval, along with a beer or soft drink. We’ve got a vegan/gluten-free options too, so make sure you select the correct ticket type when booking.

Your ticket includes:

  • welcome glass of prosecco

  • six wines (three whites, three reds) to taste from across Italy

  • a Gladiator-inspired Italian bowl food meal

  • an Italian lager (or soft drink alternative)

  • a screening of Gladiator with intro talk and extra trivia
