Meanwhile, Evelyn and Douglas wonder where their relationship is going, Norman and Carol try to remain exclusive, Madge juggles two rich suitors, and the single remaining vacancy poses a problem for two new arrivals. As the demands of Sonny’s traditional Indian wedding threaten to overwhelm them all, an unexpected solution appears.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel…and Indian Inspired Afternoon Tea

Join us for a screening of the brilliant film The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel followed by an Indian inspired afternoon tea with cakes, sandwiches and other treats catered by Brentwood’s own authentic Indian cook Vidushi (Tastefully Yours) and of course plenty of Birchall’s Darjeeling Tea.

Some British retirees (Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy) decide to outsource their retirement to exotic — and less expensive — India. Lured by advertisements for the newly restored Marigold Hotel and imagining a life of leisure in lush surroundings, they arrive and find that the Marigold is actually a shell of its former self. Though their new home is not quite what they had imagined, the retirees find that life and love can begin again when they let go of their pasts.

The film will start at 1.30pm followed by afternoon tea at 3.30pm.

Film running time: 119m
Rating: 12 (strong language, moderate sex references, racist remarks)

Afternoon Tea at Ingatestone Hall

Brentwood Theatre invites you to an

Afternoon Tea at Ingatestone Hall

Join us for an afternoon tea with live music in the stunning setting of  Ingatestone Hall.

Enjoy a delicious selection of freshly prepared sandwiches with scones, clotted cream, preserve and a variety of cakes along with a classic selection of teas in the summer parlour of Ingatestone Hall and for that extra special touch you’ll get a glass of prosecco included with your ticket.

While you enjoy your sumptuous afternoon tea you’ll also be able to tap your toe along to music from our live band – you can even have a little dance if the mood takes you!

After you’ve had your fill of tea, sandwiches and cakes and enjoyed the musical entertainment you will be free to wander and explore the beautiful enclosed gardens of Ingatestone Hall comprising lawns, walled gardens and pond.

Ingatestone Hall stands in open countryside, one mile from the village of Ingatestone and substantially retains its original Tudor form and appearance with its mullioned windows, high chimneys, crow-step gables and oak-panelled rooms. The Hall remains primarily a private family residence – and, no doubt because of this, many visitors have commented on its friendly, welcoming atmosphere.

Brentwood Theatre is very grateful to be able to host this fundraising event at Ingatestone Hall and we hope you will be able to join us, all profits from this event will go towards helping Brentwood Theatre continue to deliver community events and future projects.
