Description

My Favourite Cake cert 12A 

Join us for an Iranian cinematic dining event that combines cinema, cuisine, and culture with a truly immersive experience.

Set in a beautifully designed garden space inspired by the film, enjoy a screening of the award-winning Iranian film "My Favourite Cake" while savouring an authentic menu prepared by fantastic Iranian cooks from Portsmouth City of Sanctuary's Kitchen of Hope supported by professional chefs Soraya Hatami and Damon Hall from Taarof, in Worthing.

"My Favourite Cake" tells the charming story of seventy-year-old Mahin, solitary until now, who chooses to revive her love life. Award winning, it is a beautiful, moving film about ageing and loneliness, with an incredible cast, and a truly unique story at its heart.

Alongside the film, experience the magic of the festival of Nowruz (Iranian new year) with a traditional table setting, symbolizing the Persian New Year and a live performance by a terrific Iranian band.

With immersive décor, authentic music, and an inspiring film, the evening promises to be an unforgettable celebration of Iranian culture.

The event is a fundraiser for Portsmouth City of Sanctuary, aiming to foster community and raise awareness for refugee inclusion.

Tickets start from £25
