Free Film Screenings in London April 2015

Egg-cellent film ideas for Easter

There are no eggs-cuses for what I just did – 2 puns in a row! But April is around the corner and Daylight Saving Time has just begun. I don’t know about you but this time of the year I get into the spring mood which translates into a huge appetite for outings – just give me a reason! So here is the reason: an awesome free film screening.

This month’s highlight is Roxy Bar in Borough with all the cool films and cool meal combos. A screening costs a mere £4, combine it with a meal for a £12 deal! This is the opportunity you have been waiting for to catch up on all the latest blockbusters with movies ranging from Interstellar to The Fault in our Stars (promising to put a tear in your eyes!).

The New Cross and Deptford Free Film Festival is back this year with 10 days of free films in all our favourite South East London places so take a look at their schedule and book your place now!

P.S. Like always, click on the titles for more information on venues and times. Most of the films are free entry (check brackets for when that’s not the case) but for some of them you will need to book your place in advance so hurry up!
