With July right around the corner, the premiere episode of Game of Thrones season 7 is finally within reach of our desperate, grasping fingers — cue the screams of delight, or terror, depending on how you feel about it. I’m feeling a hybrid of both, personally.
If you can’t think of anything better than sitting down with your friends to watch the first episode of the season, consider how much better it would be to watch that episode with a member of the cast. Sound good? Luckily for UK based fans of the show, our friends at Funzing are offering you the chance to do just that, with an exclusive screening of the Game of Thrones season 7 premiere hosted by Hodor himself, Kristian Nairn.
The event will take place at London’s Proud Galleries, Camden, on July 17th, 2017. Not only will guests be treated to a screening of the episode at the same time as it airs on Sky Atlantic, the UK-based channel that airs Game of Thrones, ticket holders will also be able to attend a Q&A with Nairn beforehand.
If that’s not exciting enough to get you leaping for joy, the fun doesn’t stop there. When he’s not charming our socks off as Hodor, Bran Stark’s loyal and lovable pal, Nairn is also a successful DJ. And so following the screening he’ll be treating the crowd to a set, perhaps even showcasing a few tunes from his celebrated Rave of Thrones show — so there’ll be plenty of opportunities to let out all of your pent up excitement on the dance floor.
The order of events is as follows.
Doors Open: 7.30pm – 12.00pm
Venue: Proud Galleries, Camden
19:30-20:15– Doors open
20:15-20:45– Q+A with Kristian Nairn
