Craft-a-long

Dig out that sketchbook and dust off those crochet hooks as we invite you to join us on this Halloween weekend for a craft-a-long screening of cult teen horror classic The Craft.

After transferring to a new high school, new girl Sarah befriends a group of three wannabe witches, a group of misfits who happen to be seeking a fourth member to complete their coven.
Minor spells and a late night game of ‘light as a feather, stiff as a board’ lead the girls to delve further into black magic, exploiting their powers; all leading to the classic fight of good witch vs bad witch.

This 90’s favourite brings you all the teen angst of high school peppered with spellbinding supernatural horror; a perfect way to spend an afternoon this Halloween weekend.
