A Gothic Film Night: Northanger Abbey and Pride & Prejudice & Zombies

🖤 Join us for a delightfully gothic evening of Austen-inspired drama, romance, mystery, and mayhem with a special double-feature screening of Northanger Abbey and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies!

📅 Date: Saturday 31st October 2027

📍 Venue: The Reading Biscuit Factory

🕰️ Time: 4:30pm – 10:00pm

Spend Halloween evening in the company of fellow Austen enthusiasts as we journey from the wonderfully gothic imagination of Catherine Morland in Northanger Abbey to the Regency zombie apocalypse of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Expect an evening of candlelit atmosphere, gothic romance, dramatic twists, suspicious glances down dark corridors… and, naturally, a great many zombies.

The lights will be dimmed (not off), so do feel free to bring embroidery, knitting, or other quiet crafts to enjoy during the films. (You may also want to bring a small stitching light.)

🧵 Exclusive embroidery kits:

There will also be the opportunity to purchase exclusive embroidery kits designed by Abigail Rose (Abigail Rose Creative), inspired by both Northanger Abbey and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

Guests will be able to purchase either individual kits or a special bundle price for both together.

Everything is included — simply bring scissors and a clip light (if you use one.)

Add your chosen kit when booking to guarantee availability. A limited number may also be available on the evening.

🎟️ Your ticket includes:

• Access to a private cinema screen for both films
• A themed goodie bag filled with exclusive gothic and Austen-inspired treats
• Access to the cinema bar for additional refreshments throughout the evening
• A relaxed viewing environment with dimmed lights to allow for stitching, embroidery, knitting, or other quiet pastimes
• And more...!

🍽️ Food and refreshments will be available to purchase from the cinema throughout the evening.

👗 Gothic Regency attire, Halloween dress, or modern clothing are all warmly welcome — whether you arrive as Catherine Morland, Elizabeth Bennet, or one of the undead.
