Free Humphrey Bogart films at the Bombed Out Church in Liverpool

Del pointed this out to me and it all sounds rather splendid.

The good folks over at Urban Strawberry Lunch have been running all sorts of things at St. Luke's Church in Liverpool (it's at the top of Bold Street). This week they start a run of movies leading up to Christmas and they are all free. The church was designed by John Foster, and construction of the building began on April 9, 1811, with consecration taking place on January 12, 1831.On Monday, May 5, 1941, St Luke's was hit and burned by an incendiary bomb. Today it still stands as a burnt out shell, commonly known locally as "the bombed-out church", and its churchyard is a public park.

This week is Humphrey Bogart week and they've got the following films on:

Tuesday 2nd December - 4pm
Treasure of the Sierra Madre

Wednesday 3rd December - 4pm
Key Largo

Thursday 4th December - 4pm & 6pm
To Have and Have Not

Friday 5th December - 4pm & 6pm
The Big Sleep

Saturday 5th December - 4pm & 6pm
Casablanca

Sunday 7th December - 4pm
The Maltese Falcon

If you get the chance go along to at least one of them and show your support by leaving a little donation, but as their flyer says don't forget to take your own chair, blanket and flask. For more info call 0151 709 7562 or check out their site.

Next week they are showing films made by Liverpool film makers and in the week before Christmas it will be Christmas movies such as It's A Wonderful Life and Miracle on 34th Street. Oh and they told me today that they may have Coffee Union going along so you may be able to get hot drinks there. Here's looking at you kid.
