Variety Film Club

The team behind Variety Lunch Club have hatched a new plan so that you can come and have an afternoon out with friends while watching some of the greatest films ever produced.

You can book a �7.50 ticket which gets you a bowl of scouse and a cup of tea along with the film or a �4 ticket for just the film.

This month's film is:

It's A Wonderful Life (1946)

George Bailey (James Stewart) has so many problems he is thinking about ending it all - and it's Christmas! As the angels discuss George, we see his life in flashback. As George is about to jump from a bridge, he ends up rescuing his guardian angel, Clarence (Henry Travers) - who then shows George what his town would have looked like if it hadn't been for all his good deeds over the years.

Performance Information

Stalls tickets are available in the stalls with a bowl of Scouse for an extra �3.50. Tickets are available for the show alone in stalls and circle.

If you are bringing a large group, every tenth ticket is free. Please call the box office on 0151 709 4321 to book.

Please note - the bar will close 15 minutes before the advertised start time.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
