The NCC and Wee Bookworms are joining forces for a very special celebration of the release of Gruffalo Granny!

We’re bringing the story to life with a lively reading of the brand-new book, a screening of The Gruffalo film, music, laughter, creative activities and plenty of Gruffalo-inspired fun. With tasty treats, exciting surprises and the opportunity to purchase Gruffalo Granny and other books on the day, this will be a joyful, one-of-a-kind event for little Gruffalo fans and their grown-ups.

We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

With the hugely anticipated sequel just weeks away, it’s a timely Knitflix screening of the original cult classic starring Sandra Bullock & Nicole Kidman. Playing sisters Sally and Gillian Owens, the descendants of a long line of witches who become embroiled in a supernatural cover-up after the former accidentally kills the latter’s abusive ex-boyfriend. 

YouTuber Kane Parsons makes his feature directing debut with this brilliant and genuinely disturbing conceptual horror film based on his web series. There is something here of the V/H/S found footage franchise - it’s about people walled up in their own memories, imprisoned in endlessly remembered scenes from their past, or miserably perceived versions of their present existences in which they have become caricatures of themselves.

In association with ASK Kilkeel and ADHD Hub. Our Relaxed screenings offer a welcoming and accessible cinema environment.

To celebrate its 30th birthday, it’s high time we revisit one of the most successful movie adaptations Roald Dahl, as we bring you the peerless family favourite Matilda.

Led by Niamh Kavanagh, she of the mesmerizing voice and mischievous spirit, The Illegals will take you on a journey of soulful harmonies, exciting riffs, blistering guitars and unforgettable songs.

Drawing on her own memories, filmmaker Sophy Romvari shapes a deeply personal portrait of childhood, family fractures, and the fragility of recollection. Set on Vancouver Island in the late 1990s, Blue Heron follows eight‑year‑old Sasha and her Hungarian immigrant family as they attempt to build a new life, only to be destabilised by the increasingly dangerous behaviour of her older brother, Jeremy. Beautifully shot and boldly structured, Romvari’s debut feature is a potent rumination on the complexity of trying to understand our loved ones.

Fishy tales, big imagination, & one very tiny hero — Tiddler is a splashy delight based on the beloved book by Julia Donaldson & Axel Schaeffler. For toddlers aged 1 - 4 years old. Our Toddler combines watching the short movie, followed by a film-themed activity and healthy snack for the little ones.
