Outdoor Cinema - Paddington 2 (PG)

About this event

Paddington 2 was the rare instance of a sequel that surpassed its predecessor and since all licences to screen Harry Potter films have been held back this year for the launch of the new TV series, we are sure this popular family film crowd-pleaser will be a perfect swap. Paddington Brown is contentedly embedded with the Brown family in Windsor Gardens, with one mission: to buy Aunt Lucy the most beautiful pop-up book in London for her birthday. When it is stolen and our favourite bear finds himself wrongly convicted and dispatched to His Majesty's pleasure, the Browns must prove his innocence before the real culprit disappears. What follows is a gloriously daft, impeccably crafted caper that somehow manages to be simultaneously a prison comedy, a heist movie and a love letter to London - all without breaking a sweat. Pre film - YOU ARE ALSO US We are proud to screen the 15 minute dance film You are also Us, directed by Cathy Waller and performed by 15 dancers. It was filmed using ground-breaking drone technology in spectacular National Trust locations around Dorset. The film has been shown in film festivals internationally, picking up awards and honourable mentions and forms part of the You & Us touring triptych from Cathy Waller Company, examining themes of invisibility through photography, dance and film. Gates open from 7.30 pm to allow you time to pick a perfect place to sit, grab a drink and enjoy a picnic before the film. Film programme starts 8.30 pm
