Raffles: Better than OK

We have recently worked with Raffles members club on the King's Road. The event, which was in aid of the Alexander Rose Charities, was a screening of the original Brighton Rock movie. Great cause and a great evening. You can read more about it in OK! Magazine. There's even a mention of Love Da Popcorn- see if you can spot our smiling faces.

Da Love is Spreading

It's been a busy start to the year, and Love Da Popcorn are delighted to hear that the teams at both Topshop and Liquid Gold Baby have been enjoying our little lovelies. In fact, they liked them so much they decided to shout about it here.....and here :)

Thanks for the shout out guys, and happy popping!

Reynolds Cafe

If you are anything like us, 2011 has been a struggle so far. The working day seems a lot longer than it used to be, we are no longer in the Naughties but in a decade with no name, and we are inexplicably fatter than last year.

But there is good news! Our popcorn is now stocked in a cafe! Not only is it healthy, so a great January snack, it is also impossible to feel unhappy when eating Love Da Popcorn. Fact.

We are delighted to be stocked in Reynolds cafe on Charlotte Street and Eastcastle Street in London. So pop down and tuck in.

Surely you can't be serious?

We are now proud sponsors of the London Comedy Film Festival. On the 9th of December Airplane! fans gathered at the (excellent) Prince Charles Cinema to mark the 30th anniversary and pay tribute to the late Leslie Nielsen.

It was an amazing evening and we will be working with the LOCO festival again in the future.

The Secret Cinema Partnership is here!

Love Da Popcorn promised big news and here it is. We are proud, and more than a bit excited, to announce a partnership with Secret Cinema!!

Secret Cinema, and Future Shorts create live cinema experiences like no other. They are the principle forces behind a new resurgence in film culture (we believe) and creators of some of the most amazing film experiences of the last few years. They have been described as the saviour of cinema, the best movie night out in Britain and the true spirit of underground cinema. And we agree! Love Da Pop are big fans of creating a new and revitalized cinema, and making people smile through a bit of surprise and mystery. So we hope it is the perfect match.

We will be supplying them with our trademark white chocolate, salt and pepper and caramel Kiss flavours. But we are also planning night and day in Love Da Popcorn Towers (sometimes even sleeping there) to create some amazing new flavours. "Merry Popcorn everyone", which includes cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves is my favourite, but we are also experimenting with chili, candy floss, and peanut butter.

So look out for us at the next Secret Cinema event. And remember, tell no-one.

Aubin Cinema, Selfridges AND Silent Cinema. Crikey.

And the previous post reminds us- this is our second Selfridges event and we failed to upload the first.

For Halloween we worked with the incredible Silent Cinema, the fantastic Aubin Cinema (go and try the couches if you haven't already) and of course our favourite department store, Selfridges- for a special Halloween screening of... wait for it... Halloween. The terrifying spectre of Michael Myers (not that one) was accompanied by the full popcorn set up with two machines ('Meghan' and 'Fox'), our vintage suitcases and ourselves.

Selfridges and Tate Britain

It has been a big week for Love da Popcorn and we have loved every minute of it. On Thursday we were honoured and very excited to be in the amazing Tate Britain, at an event held for Advent International. It was a beautiful space and our black and white bags perfectly matched the marble floor. We hope to be working with them again very soon.

On Sunday we appeared at the Really Really Great Garage Sale at Selfridges. It was all for the FRODO Charity, and loads of money was raised. Highlights for us included selling to Melanie Blatt and Louise Rednapp, though they weren't the biggest stars, as you can see below. If anyone knows where we can get some costumes like that for our next event, get in touch!
