Outdoor cinema

This event is for all children, young people and families who receive a service from adult social care. Children remain their parent, carer or worker's responsibility at all times. Children cannot attend without an adult

The outdoor cinema will be taking place at 7pm on:

  •  Wednesday 30 July, showing Despicable Me 4
  •  Thursday 31 July, showing Inside Out 2

There will be pre-film entertainment, such as bingo, before the film starts at sunset. We recommend bringing a chair or blanket to sit on whilst you watch the film. Wrap up warm because it does get chilly.

Food can be purchased on site. All children and young people who receive a service from social care will be given food tokens, but we do encourage people attending to bring their own picnics.
