The Big Room: Free Family Films
Expect a warm welcome, a cuppa and a snack and a family film to enjoy together on the big screen.
We'll be serving refreshments from 1pm and the film starts at 2pm.
Film and refreshments are free.
We have limited capacity so booking is required. We are keen to welcome families most impacted by the rising cost of living.
Events take place on the following dates:
Sun 8 Jan (sold out)
Sun 22 Jan (sold out)
Sun 5 Feb (sold out)
Sun 19 Feb (sold out)
Sun 5 Mar
Sun 19 Mar
All the films shown have a U rating and are suitable for children of all ages. Films include favourites from Disney, Pixar, Aardman and Studio Ghibli. Some films are animations without dialogue and so may be suited to D/deaf and hard-of-hearing children and families. More details to follow.
It will be a relaxed screening with some lights on and the volume reduced. Families are free to make a bit of noise and to move around. There will be cushions and rugs as well as cinema-style seating.
If you would like more information about the events or how to book, please call 0115 948 9750 and ask for Amanda or Lisa.
