Cactus Language Training

To celebrate the launch of Robert Guediguian’s new film Army of Crime, Cactus Language Training and the Duke of York’s Picturehouse in Brighton are hosting a pre-film soirée before the first screening on Friday 2nd October.

Experience France in the heart of Brighton with a FREE glass of French wine, pick up a few French... phrases courtesy of Cactus’ teachers, and be in with a chance of winning a 10-week French evening language course.

Army of Crime is a gripping Holocaust story about an ‘army’ of young Jews - Hungarians, Poles, Romanians, Spaniards, Italians, and Armenians – who mount an organised and effective resistance against the Nazi occupation in Paris.

The reception starts at 7:30pm and is free to attend for cinema-goers. Usual cinema ticket prices apply. Please book online at www.picturehouses.co.uk, call the booking line on 0871 704 2056 or pop into the cinema.

Taking place on Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th September on Hove Lawns as part of the World Food Market, the 20-minute introductory lessons in Spanish and Japanese are des...igned to delight food and language lovers alike. Pitched at a beginner level, Cactus’ professional, native-speaker teachers will focus on key phrases helping people to order their favourite food and drink, creating a fun and friendly environment for the whole family.

Visitors will also be given the chance to win 10-week evening language courses in a location and language of their choice, each worth around £150, in a Hunt the Cactus competition!

Last year’s World Food Market was a great success, showcasing local producers and restaurateurs, as well as international snacks, meals, beers and cocktails, bringing food lovers from far and wide flooding into Brighton & Hove. Highlights included Japanese desserts, German sausages, Indian and African hot food, Spanish sherry and very indulgent Norwegian waffles!

This year, as well as introducing language taster classes, other exciting new additions include goodies from A Taste of Calabria, Caribbean savoury dishes and fruits, South African foods by Coriander, the bottle spinning cocktail bartenders from Chilled Bars, as well as one or two surprises.
