Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (U)

Family Film Club

Gene Wilder in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory

Following Wonka’s success in the cinema last year, it’s time to try the original film favourite up on the big screen! 

Based on Roald Dahl’s beloved classic book, this magical musical sees young Charlie and his Grandpa Joe attending reclusive Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory for an adventure they’ll never forget.

Instead of Timothée Chalamet, the enigmatic chocolatier is played by a dreamy-eyed Gene Wilder and the soundtrack is so full of earworms you’ll be humming all the way home!
