Family Film Club
Join us on Saturday mornings to start your cinematic journey as a family!
Welcome to Family Film Club, where your little ones can embark on their cinematic journey with carefully curated screenings designed to spark imagination and delight young audiences.
With plenty of seating, toilets (+ baby changes!) and café area – our cinema is a relaxed environment perfect for families to start the weekend. Before, during and after each screening there are activity sheets, books, toys and games out in the café for you to use and don’t forget to pick up a loyalty card at the end of your screening - come along five times and get your sixth visit free!
We can’t wait to see you in the cinema!
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!
Café Games/Books: from 10.30am we’ll set out a selection of books, games and colouring for families to read/play with and they’ll be available after the screening as well.
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.
Events
Relaxed Families: The Flight of Dragons + Draw Along
Our first screening of 2025 will be a specially tailored Relaxed experience, with a rarely seen 1980s animation and a draw along from the wonderful illustrator Rikkin Parekh.
