For the first time ever, we are hosting a baby and toddler screening* – with the very special classic festive film, The Muppet Christmas Carol!

The Muppets put their spin on the tale of an elder, Christmas-hating miser who is visited by spirits who foretell his future and share secrets from his past and present, which helps change his view on life.
*For this to be baby and toddler friendly, the volume is played slightly lower, and the lights remain on at a lower level. But anyone is welcome!

This is the first time we have put on a baby/toddler screening, so please spread the word and show up so we can put more on in 2026!

Tickets are a fiver for adults, and free for under 5’s!
Free coffee and cake for the first 40ish adults.
