Join us for a morning of mischief and magic with a family-friendly screening of The Witches (1990), followed by a creepy craft session!
While on holiday at the seaside with his grandma, nine-year-old Luke learns all about witches; their folklore, their secrets, and how to spot them. When Luke realises his hotel is also hosting a coven of witches, he discovers their evil plan – to transform all the world’s children into mice! Luke and his grandma must team up against the terrifying Grand High Witch, take down the coven’s wicked plan, and save the children of the world.
Based on Roald Dahl’s beloved children’s book, this tantalising tale of spells and secrets is the perfect way to celebrate the spooky season. And join us after the screening for a creepy craft session, where you can use your magic to create your very own witch-themed decorations inspired by the film!
Feel free to dress up in your most hair-raising Halloween costumes to really get in the spooky spirit!
