Check out the original film version of the classic Roald Dahl book, with Gene Wilder at his most bonkers and brilliant self! 

More than 50 years after this merry movie charmed audiences in the '70s, this original Candy Man still wields magic and is arguably still the best version beating Johnny Depp and Timothee Chalamet! From the classic Roald Dahl story comes a lip-smacking delight with jolly tunes, among them The Candy Man and Pure Imagination.

Join us for a 'golden ticket' treasure hunt before the film and dress as an oompa loompah if you dare! Singalong and dress-up encouraged as part of our Family Fridays interactive screenings.

For every Family Fridays screening doors open 3.30pm, the film starts at 4pm and the event ends at 6pm, so a great opportunity to relax and unwind after a busy week.

All Family Fridays screening tickets are just £5, so bring the family for a great night out. And guess what? We now have ice cream!

Please note, children under 12 need to be accompanied by an adult (minimum one adult per four children). Spaces are limited so advance booking is recommended.
