Craft Club Launch Screening
20th Jul 2025
Abbeygate Cinema, Hatter Street, Bury Saint Edmunds, UK
Abbeygate Cinema is delighted to announce the launch of its brand new Craft Club Screenings – a unique cinema experience designed especially for lovers of film and craft. The first event takes place on Sunday 20th July at 11am, featuring a special showing of Four Letters of Love, the new romantic drama starring Pierce Brosnan and Helena Bonham Carter, based on the best-selling novel by Niall Williams.
In collaboration with Sew Much To Do, the much-loved haberdashery shop just opposite the cinema on Hatter Street, Craft Club invites guests to bring along their knitting, crochet, embroidery, sewing, sketchbooks – or any other quiet craft – and enjoy a new release in a relaxed, welcoming setting.
To support the creativity in the room, the house lights will remain gently raised throughout the screening, allowing guests to comfortably work on their projects during the film.
“We’ve always believed in cinema as a communal and creative experience,” says Gareth Boggis, General Manager at Abbeygate Cinema. “Partnering with our neighbour Sew Much To Do felt like a natural fit. We’re excited to welcome the local crafting community and anyone curious to join in – whether you bring a long-standing project or just want to try something new.”
Sew Much To Do will also be offering a 10% off voucher to anyone who attends the Craft Club screening. The voucher can be used on the same day – simply show your film ticket at the shop which will be open 10am – 4pm.
Lesley Partridge, owner of Sew Much To Do, says, “We’re so pleased to be working with Abbeygate Cinema on Craft Club. So many of our customers love to knit or crochet while watching television at home – it’s wonderful to now have the chance to do that on the big screen, with a brand-new release, and in the company of fellow makers. It’s a lovely way to bring creativity and community together.”
Whether you’re a lifelong crafter or simply curious to try, Craft Club welcomes all skill levels and artistic interests. Come solo or bring a friend – just don’t forget your project bag.
