In partnership with Lonkero, a take on Finland’s national long drink, which has recently launched to market in Edinburgh, the large 4m outdoor screen boasts a two-month line-up of feel-good classic films and live screenings of Olympic Games Paris 2024.
“Our refreshing long drink, made of gin, grapefruit and botanics is inspired by eccentricity and the love of the outdoors” says Joe Harris, co-founder of Lonkero Drinks.
“What better way to celebrate its launch than with a free outdoor cinema at the city’s most loved and eccentric hang out, Edinburgh Street Food.”
Lonkero Drinks won Best New Alcoholic Drink Start Up at this year’s In-Drinks show and is already proving popular at the city’s vibrant and bustling 7 day a week street food market.
