Join us at Elmer Square for our annual Big Screen Summer Cinema!We're excited to be showing Paddington (2014), the story of a young Peruvian bear with a passion for all things British travels to London in search of a home. Finding himself lost and alone at Paddington Station, he begins to realize that city life is not all he had imagined – until he meets the kind Brown family, who read the label around his neck (‘Please look after this bear. Thank you.’) and offer him a temporary haven. It looks as though his luck has changed until this rarest of bears catches the eye of a museum taxidermist.
This year’s programme has been selected in response to The Reading Agency annual summer reading challenge. ‘Story Garden’ will inspire children to tap into a world of imagination through reading, exploring the magical connection between storytelling and nature. The outdoor screenings take place on the first four Saturdays in August at 3pm – free, no booking necessary.
Early arrival is advised to find yourself a comfortable area to sit, to avoid disappointment as we will be operating a first come, first served policy. Bring your own chair or blanket to sit on the pavement or grass, respectively. Extra bins will be available, and toilets and water fountains are located inside The Forum building.
