Brilliant Books Shorts from LIAF (U*)

Family Film Club

The Lost Things

Our friends at LIAF have put together a wonderful selection of short animations adapted from some brilliant books from all over the world.

This screening is accompanied by BSL interpretation for families with people who are D/deaf or hard of hearing.

Adults can only come if they’re bringing a child, and children can only come along if accompanied by an adult. If you’re over 18, we’re afraid being a ‘big kid’ doesn’t count.
