Come along for a pre-film workshop and our annual shorts programme celebrating International Women's Day.

For International Women’s Day this week, we’ve put together a fantastic line up of short films all directed by female filmmakers from around the world. This is a great chance to start your young ones on international cinema in bite-sized chunks.

Before the screening join us for a creative workshop with artist Fatima Rodriguez in Cinema 2&3 Café from 10am to celebrate International Women’s Day.

Please note: This screening is for families to attend as a group. Adults (over 18s) can only enter auditorium if they are bringing a child. Children (under 18s) can only attend if accompanied by an adult.

The Family Film Club programme aims to screen films from a range of countries, styles and times, introducing a young audience to historical/archive content as well as the latest new releases. This film has locally classified as a U – but assessing suitability of any screening is the responsibility of parent/guardian. Please see www.bbfc.co.uk for more information on film ratings.

Useful Information

Start times: Our Family Film Club screenings are shown without ads, so the film will start just after 11am. Please make sure to turn up on time so you don’t miss the start! 

Catering Deal: Look out for our special catering offer exclusively for our FFC audience: a kid’s lemonade + popcorn for £5, order and pay at the Cinema cafe.

Loyalty Card: Don't forget, you can pick up your FFC Loyalty Card at the screening. Come along five times and get your sixth visit free! 

Parent & Baby Screenings: If you’ve got an under 12 month year old, we also host our very popular Parent and Baby screenings on a Saturday morning too.

Prams and buggies: we have limited space and are unable to accommodate prams and buggies in the auditorium at Family Film Club screenings. Prams and buggies must be left outside the auditorium (at owners’ own risk). 

Please note: FFC screenings are designed for families to attend together so adults can only come if they’re bringing a child, and children can only come along if accompanied by an adult. We are able to accommodate ‘babes in arms’ at FFC screenings for children of 18 months and under. Any child over 18 months must have a seat purchased for them.

Book early to avoid disappointment.
