Monthly 11.00 am Babes in Arms screening
Bringing a baby is not compulsory, but we cannot guarantee a quiet auditorium! The lights will not be fully dimmed, sound will be at a lower level than usual and people may need to move around.
These screenings are aimed at parents of babies up to one year. For children over one year the parent should consider the suitability of the film certification.
