PATCHWORK Cafe in Port St Mary has been given permission to show matinee film performances.

Currently the cafe, which is located on Bay View Road, runs a Cinema Supper Club on a Thursday evening.

Following the licensing approval, which was granted by Douglas Licensing Court, owners Rich and Adrienne Ashcroft will now run a weekend event called "Vintage Sundays @ Patchwork".

Adrienne explained: "The idea of enjoying a home made afternoon tea with friends whilst watching old movies sounded so utterly beguiling - we immediately knew we had to change our license.

"Because it's afternoon tea and a classic film we decided to name the event "Vintage Sundays @ Patchwork'."

The couple plan to screen classic "must see films" from genres including film noir, romance, western, war, silent and fantasy.

Rich added: "Although, being such a small venue, we are always happy to take recommendations."

Vintage Sundays @ Patchwork will take place every Sunday at 4pm and pre-booking is required. 

Up to 24 people can be accommodated with entry charged at £8.95 per person. This includes sandwiches, cream scones, a cake selection and tea or coffee. Guests may bring their own alcohol with no corkage charged.
