Ramsden Movies Presents: A Real Pain
Multiple award-winning comedy drama.
American Jewish cousins David and Benji travel to Poland to see their late grandmother's childhood home. Benji (Kieran Culkin), an outspoken and free-spirited drifter, stands in stark contrast to David (Jesse Eisenberg), who is a quiet and practical husband and father. Their adventure takes a dark turn when the odd couple's old tensions resurface against the backdrop of their family history.
A Real Pain is a real treat, a tender, funny treatise on family jealousies and our relationship to the past. Simultaneously light and heavy, it soars on the stellar pairing of Eisenberg and Culkin. Empire
A finely tuned, melancholic and at times startlingly funny exploration of loss and belonging. New York Times
The writing is sublimely satisfying and textured, the characters persuasively realised, and the jostling, combative dialogue feels fully alive and refreshingly unpredictable, rather than a laboured assortment of words on a page. The Guardian

CANCELLED DUE TO STORM: Ramsden Christmas Market 2024
There is now a Met Office weather warning for Saturday with wind speeds of nearly 60 mph in the afternoon, as well as rain. This is due to Storm Darragh, a named storm. With such high wind speeds we cannot take the risk of welcoming hundreds of visitors into the marquees.
Therefore we have very reluctantly decided that we must cancel this year's Market. We are really sorry about this and are very disappointed after all the preparations that everybody has made, but safety must come first.

Ramsden Movies Presents: Wilding
Documentary based on Isabella Tree’s 2018 memoir of how she and her husband Charlie Burrell completely overhauled the 1400-acre Knepp estate he had inherited in Sussex. The first thing they were told when they took over the land was that they would never make a go of farming it, as the soil had been impoverished by over-intensive cultivation, so the couple decided to experiment with returning it to the wild. They introduced wild ponies from Dartmoor, let deer wander, and allowed herds of pigs to roam freely (to the disapproval of their neighbours). All their cows and sheep live outdoors all year round with little husbandry.
DOCUMENTARY 2023 Cert PG.

Bridewell Gardens Open Day
Visitors are encouraged to explore all parts of the vineyard and walled gardens when we throw open the gates for the first of our Open Days this year.
From our pop-up cafe you can enjoy the beautiful and peaceful surroundings of the gardens, or bring a picnic to relax in the vineyard and make the most of your day out in this idyllic corner of West Oxfordshire.
The gardens provide the ideal opportunity for children to see a wide range of plants, fruit and veg, spot dragonflies and newts in the pond, and count the chickens roaming the vineyard.
Take the opportunity to speak to Bridewell staff and volunteers to find out more about the recovery service and how you can support Bridewell’s work. Come and be inspired by the gardens tucked away in this beautiful valley and find out what goes on beyond the walls.
Plants and Produce
Bridewell produce will be on sale including our acclaimed organic sparkling wine made from grapes grown in the vineyard.
There are our high-quality plants, the product of much hard work and attention as part of the day to day activities of the recovery service, caring for and maintaining the gardens.
Dogs on leads are very welcome.
