Minions & Monsters (u) 1h 30m Matinee

Dir: Pierre Coffin Cast: Pierre Coffin, Allison Janney, George Lucas, Christoph Waltz, Jeff Bridges Genre: Animation, Adventure, Comedy, Crime, Family, Sci-fi Hollywood has a monster problem…Follow the Minions in 1920s Hollywood as they aim to make a monster movie of their own and search for frightening creatures to appear in their movie. But after unleashing monsters upon an unsuspecting world, The Minions must band together to save the day. Fresh off the worldwide blockbuster success of summer 2024’s funniest comedy, Despicable Me 4, Illumination expands its joyful animated universe with a riotous new chapter, featuring all-new characters, in the biggest global animated franchise in history: Minions & Monsters. This is the rambunctious, ridiculous and totally true story of how the Minions conquered Hollywood, became movie stars, lost everything, unleashed monsters onto the world and then banded together to try and save the planet from the mayhem they had just created. The acclaimed voice cast stars Coffin as the Minions, alongside Allison Janney, Christoph Waltz, Jeff Bridges, Jesse Eisenberg, Zoey Deutch, Bobby Moynihan, Phil LaMarr, and Trey Parker. Cafe opens from 10am serving delicious home made cakes, Freshly baked cookies, Salcombe Dairy ice cream, sweet pots, Crankhouse Coffee and Specialty Teas. Bar opens from 12pm serving cocktails, fine wines, craft beers and bar snacks.

The Invite (15) 1h 47m

Dir: Olivia Wilde Cast: Seth Rogen, Olivia Wilde, Penélope Cruz, Edward Norton Genre: Comedy, Drama, Romance The latest film from Olivia Wilde is her finest work yet – a charged, hilarious chamber piece that reverberates with the simmering tension of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and channels the queasy comedy of Abigail’s Party. Joe, a weary music professor, arrives home one evening to find his highly strung wife Angela has decorated their apartment, laid out a platter of expensive cheeses, and invited their sexy, uninhibited neighbours to supper. This remake of Spanish comedy The People Upstairs treats us to four knockout performances from Wilde, Rogan, Cruz and Norton. They are assisted in no small part by a razor-sharp script from Rashida Jones and Will McCormack, the duo behind smart comedy-drama Celeste and Jesse Forever. It also features a vibrant score from Devonté Hynes (aka Blood Orange) that ups the tension, and is handsomely shot on 35mm by The Studio cinematographer Adam Newport-Berra – his nimble camera keenly exploring the shifting energy between the characters. It’s a perfect exercise in probing the insecurities that lie hidden beneath the surface of a seemingly happy relationship. Bar opens from 7pm serving our fabulous cocktails, fine wines and craft beers, as well as savoury and sweet snacks. Film starts promptly at 8pm with last orders 10 minutes before the film WATCH THE TRAILER HERE

Private Tours

Almost 600 rescued horses and ponies have lifelong care at The Mare and Foal Sanctuary. This means they’ll live the rest of their lives at one of our peaceful reserves, or with a dedicated Sanctuary at Home carer who understands their individual needs. Around 120 rescued equines are homed at our four Sanctuary sites across Devon. They live in herds in beautiful fields, as close to their natural environment as possible. These equine nature reserves are havens of tranquillity, allowing our horses and ponies a safe space to recover and grow stronger. The Sanctuaries are not open for members of the public to drop in, but we welcome prebooked small group visits on specific days throughout the year. These visits are more personal and informative and aim to help you discover a special connection with nature and with the horses and ponies that live here. At Coombe Park Education and Equestrian Centre near Totnes, you’ll spend 1.5 hours with our team members discovering more about our rescued equines and the life-changing work we do to heal and rehome horses and ponies across the Southwest. We’ll explain our daily tasks in looking after them and you’ll meet lots of our four-hoofed residents to learn about their heart-warming stories and achievements. Together we’ll explore this beautiful site and find more horses and ponies at liberty in the paddocks.
