LOT Wakefield
RBT Video
Enjoy an 80s classic film
Known for its blockbuster movies, any 80s day should include delving into some classic cinema. LOT Wakefield is showcasing a range of cult films in its outdoor cinema, providing the ultimate nostalgic movie viewing experience, complete with popcorn and pizza.
An 80s bar like no other...
After enjoying one blockbuster, why not try another by picking one up from a VHS shop? Or that’s what it seems… RBT Video is the world’s first VHS (Very Hidden Speakeasy!). Tucked away in the back of what appears to be a local blockbuster shop, guess the movie of the week (or take a look on the website) and be transported into a secret bar. Enjoy an 80s inspired cocktail, cheesy pizza by the slice and one-of-a-kind neon artwork.
