Chick Flicks & Cocktails x Galio Jewellers

Chick Flicks & Cocktails is on at The Hub on Verulam on Thursday 12 November, and this time it's paired with Galio Jewellers. The night is built around a chick flick screening, cocktails, and an exclusive Galio Jewellers diamond showcase, so it's as much about the drinks and the jewellery as it is about the film.

One detail worth knowing is where you'll be sitting. The screening is in The Box, the venue's private cinema room, where you sink into your own sofa rather than the Terrace screening room. It's a smaller, more enclosed space than the main cinema, and the sofa setup means you're not sharing a row with strangers. If you're planning a night out with friends, that's the kind of room that works better for a group than a standard cinema hall.

It helps to have a sense of the venue itself. The Hub on Verulam is an all-day dining destination in St Albans that brings together a few different things under one roof: Vesper, the evening restaurant; the boutique cinema rooms; and a co-working space. It's a spot that shifts from a workspace during the day to a place for dinner and film in the evening, and this event sits right in that crossover. The cinema side of things is quite active, too — they run a Cinema Supper Club that combines film, food and festive magic, and a monthly Film Club led by in-house curator Finn Barrow.

So, the night is a chick flick, cocktails and a diamond showcase from Galio Jewellers, all held in The Box at The Hub on Verulam on Thursday 12 November. If you're in St Albans and fancy a cinema night that doesn't stop at the credits, this is one to keep on your radar.
