In the Pumpkin Capital of the World, stoic farmer Dinah Little (Golda Rosheuvel, Bridgerton’s Queen Charlotte) begrudgingly takes in her spirited niece, Charlie (Priya-Rose Brookwell). But Charlie isn’t an ordinary child—she has a special knack for connecting with plants that quietly reflects her own longing to feel just as seen and loved.

As the town prepares for the annual pumpkin-growing contest, Charlie sets her sights on winning. With the help of quirky Arlo (Nick Frost, Hagrid in HBO’s upcoming Harry Potter series), plot and pumpkins thicken as rival growers pull every trick in the book. Will Charlie and Dinah’s unlikely entry stand tall against the fiercest competition the town has ever seen? As Charlie’s pumpkin grows, so does her bond with Dinah, and together they learn the real prize is joy, laughter, and family.

Grow is an exuberant and thoroughly entertaining family film which fuses twisted humour and wild imagination with a stirring story of family healing, all set against the backdrop of an apparently sleepy Scottish town.

From the moment Captain Calamity and Crew sail in from The Lollipop Lighthouse in Chocolate Button bay the craziness bursts onto the stage.

This is a wild mix of magic and mayhem like no other. Expect 55 minutes of jaw dropping family fun and insanity featuring marvellous magic, bombastic balloons, beautiful bubbles, silly science, gigglesome games, cheeky tunes, one or two custard pies and enough craziness to send you into a fit of giggles before the curtain comes crashing down.

Don't miss this symphony of disaster conducted by a smelly dragon, a magical musical Story Teller, a crazy Professor and the biggest buffoon of all, Captain Calamity.  

Ideal for families and children of all ages.

Returning to cinemas for the first time in over a decade, Helen Mirren plays Queen Elizabeth II in the  Olivier and Tony Award? -winning hit production, directed by Stephen Daldry.

 

For 60 years, Queen Elizabeth II met with each of her 12 prime ministers in a private weekly meeting. This meeting is known as The Audience. From Winston Churchill to Margaret Thatcher and David Cameron, the Queen advised her prime ministers on matters both public and personal. Through these private audiences, we see glimpses of the woman behind the crown and witness the moments that shaped a monarch.

 

Peter Morgan?s Netflix phenomenon The Crown was based on this hit play that was captured live from London?s West End in 2013 and went on to become one of the most-watched NT Live productions.

Shakespeare's OTHELLO rages to life like never before in a "compelling" (****Telegraph) new production starring David Harewood OBE (Homeland, Best of Enemies), Toby Jones OBE (Mr Bates vs the Post Office, Detectorists), Caitlin FitzGerald (Succession, Masters of Sex), Vinette Robinson (Boiling Point) and Luke Treadaway (A Street Cat Named Bob). 

 

Directed by Tony Award-winner Tom Morris OBE (War Horse, Dr Semmelweis, The Grinning Man) with music by PJ Harvey, this epic story of manipulation, jealousy and toxic masculinity explores the darker side of power, rage and desire. Filmed live at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London especially for the big screen, this is "an electrifying star-studded Othello." (****Mail on Sunday)

Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) and Marianne Jean-Baptiste (Hard Truths) feature in a five-star, triumphantly acclaimed new production of Arthur Miller’s classic play, from visionary director Ivo Van Hove (A View from the Bridge).

One family, the heart of the American dream. When wartime delivers profits for Joe, it comes at a price when his partner is charged with criminal manufacturing deals, and his eldest son goes missing in action. Will peacetime bring peace of mind, or will he be confronted by the consequence of his actions?

Filmed live from the West End, Paapa Essiedu (I May Destroy You), Tom Glynn-Carney (House of the Dragon), and Hayley Squires (I, Daniel Blake) also feature in this disturbingly prescient play.

Snow White and Rose Red – sisters, twins, best friends – have lived in the forest since they were Babes in the Wood.  Brought up by their hardworking Mother to be kind, caring and forest fluent... if sometimes a little over enthusiastic in their deeds!

When their quiet life is interrupted by a friendly bear a new chapter begins.  But why has the bear chosen them as playfellows? Why is there sadness in his eyes?  And who on earth is that rude little man with a ridiculously long beard that they keep bumping in to?

All questions will be untangled in this new show from the Woods of Widdershins, using puppets, storytelling, original music and a fantastical fairytale forest.

Suitable for ages 4 and up
