Free drinks reception @ ’78 Derngate’ for Rebel and Revolutionary ticketholders only

78 Derngate Northampton, Northamptonshire, NN1 1UH

For ticketholders of our Rebel and Revolutionary short film screening, you're welcome to join us for a free drink and look round the amazing 78 Derngate ahead of the screening. 78 Derngate is on the same road as the Filmhouse so there is easy access to the screening from there. Designed and re-modelled by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1916, 78 Derngate was the architect's final major commission. It is the only place outside Scotland in which Mackintosh's mature architectural and interior style can be seen in their original setting. Please see The Charles Rennie Mackintosh House - Your Visit to 78 Derngate for accessibility information - there is a lift to our drinks space - and more information about the house. Drinks and entry to the house are free to ticketholders - the house is closed to the public at the time. 78 Derngate 78 Derngate Northampton NN1 1UH March 1, 2026, 5:00 - 6:45 PM GMT

Northampton Filmhouse

Your ticket includes a free drink at 78 Derngate from 5pm ahead of this screening - join us for a drink and a free look around this amazing house ahead of the films. The Filmhouse is only a few hundred metres away. Please book a free ticket on the schedule so we can keep you updated. NFF says Northants is a county of Rebels and Revolutionaries, Misfits and Mavericks, Creatives and Changemakers so we've picked out a selection of short films from this year's entries to match some of those themes. This programme includes animation, documentary, drama, LGBTQ+ historical drama and some comedy. A bit of everything! It's an 18 so be prepared for strong themes, bad language, violence and sex. Films start promptly at 7pm - no trailers. Doors open 20 minutes before the films start. Northampton Filmhouse has step free access to the screening room but only 1 wheelchair space and only 1 row of chairs without using steps. The wheelchair space can be booked below but if you'd like to reserve a space in the top row please book a ticket then contact us.
