March 15th - The King of Kong

We are excited to be partnering with the wonderful Retro Collective to bring you an experiential film experience into the world of retro video gaming! 

The King Of Kong is a truly wonderful film! This look at rival video gamers is not about video games. It‘s possibly the ultimate depiction of good versus evil, committed to film. The King of Kong transcends its pop culture origins and becomes a real-life Shakespearean drama. Do not miss this hilarious tale of life‘s nicest man versus the egomaniacal might of a sleazy super gamer who will stop at nothing to remain on top. 

Alongside this wonderful film The Retro Collective will be showcasing various retro games with a high score competition to play out your own gaming rivalries down at the mill! 

Tickets for the film screening have been costed at the price of paying a meal forward for someone in need, in our community.  

If you can afford to pay for your ticket, and would like to contribute, thank you. We often get asked for an indicative cost and our average cost of producing a meal, over the last three rolling months, we have calculated at £7.61 per person.  Please select from the first box below.

If you would like to join us for the screening but cannot afford the cost of the ticket, then it’s on us. Just select from the second box below and enter your details through to the checkout page.

The Long Table puts food at the centre of the community. Making sure that everyone has access to great food and people to eat it with, that’s the basics. All of the money raised at the film night will go towards our work, making locally sourced and lovingly prepared food available to everyone, regardless of their social or financial background. We call it Food Equality.
