Join us for a relaxed afternoon screening of an animated action adventure, with a fun and accessible creative activity for all ages.

FILM: Kensuke’s Kingdom / 2023 / 85mins / Rated PG / Subtitled

Based on the much-loved, best-selling children’s novel by Michael Morpurgo and adapted for screen by Frank Cottrell-Boyce, Kensuke’s Kingdom tells of the epic adventure of Michael, a young boy, shipwrecked on a remote island, who must adapt to life alone. Over time, he feels another presence, learning that this world is home to both unimaginable danger and beauty, in this gripping animated adaptation of a beloved novel.

Featuring the voices of Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy and Oscar-nominated Sally Hawkins.

See this stunning animation on the big screen in a unique, pop-up film experience.

WORKSHOP: Land Ahoy!

We will experiment with natural inks, inspired by Kensuke’s paintings in the film, to create our own imaginative maps and animal portraits. We’ll explore materials such as feathers and sticks to make paintbrushes as well as techniques like dry brushing, cross hatching and stippling to chronicle your island castaway adventure. Aprons and all materials provided.

“I had read Kensuke’s Kingdom to my boys when they were little and they were enthralled by it. Michael Morpurgo manages to connect so beautifully with a child's sense of wonder and adventure. I very much wanted to be involved in the film version so that they could see it….” Cillian Murphy

Our affordable charity cafe-bar with refreshments and popcorn will be open throughout.

This film is rated PG, for more guidance please check the BBFC website.

Relaxed screenings are designed to create a more comfortable and accessible cinema experience for individuals with autism, sensory sensitivities, or other needs that make traditional cinema settings challenging. These screenings involve adjustments like low lighting and freedom to move around, encouraging a more relaxed atmosphere.
