Join the JHF for our spring Picnic Under the Stars on the lawns of Villa Arcadia, including the screening of a classic movie on a large screen.

For copyright reasons, we aren’t able to name the featured movie in our publicity but here are some clues: it’s a 1950 dark comedy film noir critiquing Hollywood’s darker side. It stars William Holden and Gloria Swanson (as a faded silent film actress who’s ready for her close-up!). Expertly directed by Billy Wilder and shot in glorious black and white, we can think of no better movie to watch with beautiful Villa Arcadia in the background.

Remember to bring along your picnic supplies, a blanket or camping chairs. Dress theme: Old Hollywood Decay

Please note: Booking for this tour will close on the 23rd September as a tour attendee list needs to be shared with Hollard in advance. Should it rain, the event will be cancelled without refund. Secure parking is available.
