Hooper’s Alcoholic Fruit Brews is sponsoring the Summer Nights Film Festival, a series of outdoor screenings of popular films in heritage locations.
The 2016 season kicks off with The Martian at the RHS Gardens, Wisley on July 15th, and runs through until September 17th with a showing of Grease at the Blickling Estate in Norfolk.
Hooper’s will be providing a relaxed bar and picnic seating area, where attendees can try each of the six flavours of Hooper’s Alcoholic Fruit Brews.
The premium Ready-To-Drink range includes Cloudy Lemonade, Strawberry & Elderflower, Raspberry & Nettle, Dandelion & Burdock, Ginger Brew and Plum & Sloe.
Simon Green, Marketing Director of Global Brands which markets Hooper’s under license from owner Molson Coors, says: “Summer Nights Film Festival is a chance to enjoy the British summertime with Hooper’s refreshing, nostalgic flavours at beautiful English heritage sites. The events embrace Hooper’s #GreatBritishPicnic campaign to support new ways to enjoy the British summertime this year. We are incredibly excited to be exclusive drinks vendor, especially as this is the first year hospitality options have featured onsite.”
