There’s plenty to keep the family entertained this half-term at Victoria Hall, Radstock, with film screenings, a puppet show, creative crafts and theatre events.
The week kicks off with a screening of The Royal Ballet’s brilliant production of Woolf Works (12A) on Friday, 10th February. This critically-acclaimed ballet by multi-award winning choreographer, Wayne McGregor, is inspired by the literary work of Virginia Woolf and was recorded live at the Royal Opera House.
There are two cinema screenings on Saturday, 11th February – a 4.30 p.m. screening of the beautiful animation, Kubo and Two Strings (PG) and a 7.30 p.m. showing of the hit romantic comedy, Bridget Jones’s Baby (15). Bridget is now forty-something, has broken up with Mark Darcy, and is pregnant. The problem is, no one knows who the father is, not even Bridget herself. Oscar winners Renée Zellweger and Colin Firth are joined by Patrick Dempsey for the next hilarious chapter of the world’s favourite singleton.
