Discover a world of film together with your family, and us, every Saturday morning at the Barbican!

From September 2011 we are changing the activity element of Family Film Club.

While still offering a programmed film for families every Saturday, the participatory offer will now widen its focus to encompass all artforms - art, theatre and music as well as film. While this won't take place every single week, it will be regular, high quality activities that will provide both children and parents greater opportunity to experience the arts and the range that we offer at the Barbican.

Upcoming Family Events:

Join us for an excellent family workshop in architecture, Building Exploratory, on Sat 18 Feb 2012, as part of the OMA/Progress exhibition in Barbican Art Gallery. 

Make a day of it at the Barbican - following our screening of The Muppets Take Manhattan, you can make your way upstairs and take part in Come and Play presents Kidszone Live at 1pm, then enjoy the NY Philharmonic Young People's Concert at 4pm.

FFC will be taking part in the first ever London Children's Bookswap on Sat 25 Feb, before and after the screening of A Little Princess. Come along from 10am with your unwanted books and swap them with something new! Book Swap will also be available after the film and we’ll have a table for both children and adults.

Don't miss out on Barbican Weekender: Urban Stories, featuring themes as diverse as Shakespeare and Grime music. Look out for more info soon!

FInally, we have the fantastic LSO Family Concerts in the Barbican Hall on Sundays 18 Mar and 24 Jun 2012 (suitable 7 - 12 year olds).
