Come join us after hours this half term for Film Night at the Museum where we will be showing the Jack Black classic, The School of Rock.

Recently fired from his rock band, Dewey Finn takes a job as a 4th grade teacher at an uptight private school where his free-spirited attitude and shenanigans cause the students to discover other sides of themselves. Dewey forms a rock band with his students to win a Battle of the Bands, help get himself out of debt and re-establish himself as a musician...

Our café will be serving cinema style snacks and drinks. Fun for all the family.

Film Night tickets: £6 (£5 for Resident Pass holders). Children under five go FREE!
