The Bonington Theatre in Arnold is launching a four‑night series of late‑night, club‑style events in its bar area, running from February 14–17, 2026. The events are themed around the film Marty Supreme (15) and will take place each evening from Feb. 14 to Feb. 17; the venue has set an age guidance of 15 and over for these sessions.
Bonington, which is owned and managed by Gedling Borough Council, says the pilot is intended to test whether the theatre bar can operate as a standalone late‑night venue to engage younger adult audiences. Promotional material and the reporter’s brief say the nights draw on the film’s 1950s aesthetic and may include interactive elements such as table tennis, but the theatre has not confirmed those specific features.
The initiative is part of a wider effort to boost local evening entertainment and provide safe, local social options for residents in the Carlton and Arnold area as an alternative to travelling into Nottingham city centre. Tickets are available via the Bonington Theatre box office and online (box office phone: 0115 901 3640); the first night falls on Valentine’s Day, Feb. 14, 2026.
