"Marvellous things will happen; things even you never dreamt of..." - James and the Giant Peach

Get the summer holidays off to a scrumdiddlyumptious start with our splendiferous family season celebrating the centenary year of iconic children's author Roald Dahl.

From cult classics like Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and The Witches to this year's latest release The BFG, Dahl's creations have been brought to life on screen - and loved by Dahl fans of all ages - for decades.

Away from the cinema screens head on over to our Book Den in the Café/Bar, a cosy relaxed reading space where we'll be hosting a variety of brain-bizzling (and totally FREE!) activities for families, featuring chocolate illustration, finger puppets, costume making, crafting, reading (with BSL interpreters) and more.

Film tickets are just £6.50 for adults and £4.50 concessions and children - while all activities are free. Take a look at the programme below and see what Dahl delights are in store for you this summer...
