Nick and I were very lucky to be invited to a fun date night in Central London thanks to the lovely people at Joe Blogs. It was a private Superhero Cinema Night screening of the blockbuster hit X-Men: Days of Future Past presented by BGO.
So you can have a taste of the night before you read about the full event, please watch this short video:
I hope you like it. Now you can read all about it!!! 🙂
The event was held at the British Film Institute (BFI). How cool is that? We haven’t been there before so I was very excited. The place was really nice. We were invited along with a few other bloggers and we were all given the VIP treatment with a red carpet rolled out.
I was so happy to see that Rebecca from All About You Blog was also invited to this event so we could finally meet up! I love meeting other bloggers – it’s one of the things that I enjoy the most. She was with her hubby too so the four of us had a good time. She is really lovely!
They had some Marvel themed games to try out like The Incredible Hulk, Spider-man, X-Men and Iron Man. They were all on iPad stations positioned around the room. Of course I had to give it a go and played one of the games. I’m normally rubbish with games but this time I must have done pretty well as I had the best score for that game and I was one of the lucky winners of a cyber arcade console! That was fantastic as I never win anything! My luck is not usually very good so I was incredibly surprised and of course super happy to find out that I was a WINNER!! Yaay!!
We had some drinks, canapés and some sweets that were really yummy!!! We were then asked to grab our things and prepare to head downstairs to one of the private screening rooms to watch the film. We were also offered some popcorn at this point too.
The movie was really good. There were lots of famous actors in this movie which made it even more interesting to watch. It was such a nice experience to be part of. We had a good time and it was just what we needed (any excuse for us to have a bit of time for ourselves is always welcomed with open arms!).
Thank you so much Joe Blogs and BGO for such a unique experience!!
What do you think of this night? Have you been in a private screening before? What is your favourite Marvel superhero? And what is your favourite movie? Leave me a comment as I would love to read what you think.
Thanks for stopping by,
Love you all ❤️

JAson says
Looks like such a fun night! That food has me drooling on my keyboard as I type. I love the Marvel characters, but I think they’ve been given a better treatment on the small screen. Netflix’s Jessica Jones is one of the best superhero series I’ve seen. Check it out if you haven’t already.
Thanks for sharing. #KCACOLS
