Movie fans can enjoy the accompaniment of Matt Dickman's soulful saxophone melodies, The Dots’ diverse electronica vibes and Taylor Giacoma's enchanting piano performances.

The event is being hosted by Helen Finney and will include an eclectic mix of films, though the specific details are being kept under wraps.

Helen said: “Not your average Wednesday, it's going to be a unique evening combining quirky short films and original music composed especially for this event. There’s something for everyone – historical interest, stop motion animation, propaganda and comedy/horror.

"All this, along with some general tomfoolery, is going to make for an awesome night.”

Tickets cost £5.50, available from theoldcourts.com.
