From the moment they arrive, fans and newcomers alike will find themselves immersed in Agatha Christie’s world of mystery and glamour. Mixologists from Tony Conigliaro’s iconic bar, 69 Colebrooke Row, will be serving up three delicious cocktails inspired by the film – the Lipstick Rose made with raspberry and rose vodka topped with champagne; the Blenheim Gimlet with gin and black pepper cordial and the 69 Vintage Manhattan, made with aged American whiskey, Italian vermouth, Maraschino liqueur and aromatic bitters.

Guests will be entertained by a live jazz and swing band while they sip their bespoke cocktails and await the star-studded, Kenneth Branagh directed adaptation. The film, depicting the wonderfully moustachioed detective Poiret as he solves a murder mystery aboard the Orient Express, will then be shown in the classic 1950s modelled Everyman screen.

Whether you’re a film, music or cocktail buff (after all, Tony Conigliaro’s Bar Termini has been voted ninth in the World’s 50 Best Bars), this experience promises to be an enviously priced night of killer entertainment.
