Cinema Launches New Film and Food Events for Spring

Independent cinema Abbeygate on Hatter Street in Bury St Edmunds has launched a new season of Discover + Dine this spring. For £15, cinema goers can enjoy access to the weekly ‘Discover’ film plus a two-course themed meal before the film at in-house restaurant, No. 4 Restaurant + Bar.

Whether it’s a vintage classic, an art-house gem or a riveting documentary, the ‘Discover’ series at Abbeygate shows alternative films every Tuesday. The menu for each Discover + Dine event is designed by Head Chef Matt specifically for that week’s film.

Guests can also take advantage of free parking from 3pm a Tuesday, making the whole experience even more affordable.
