Half-term family fun at Warwick Arts Centre
Spring Half-Term is upon us which means that there’s no time like the present to plan some family fun! For entertaining films and shows here in Coventry, look no further than what’s on here at Warwick Arts Centre.
Films for the family
Have you spotted our relaxed screenings? Relaxed screenings are the perfect setting to watch a film together as a family as they have a relaxed approach to noise and movement in the cinema. A quiet space or chill-out area is also available, so it’s perfect for kids. What’s even better is that the lights will be slightly turned up it means you can complete activities while the film runs so every child is happy!
Check out our family film, The Secret of Kells, a dazzling Oscar-nominated animation which is a sumptuous tale of friendship and creativity in medieval times.
Live events to look forward to
There are wonderful live events suitable for kids of all ages coming up this half-term. Brave Bettie is perfect for children interested in nature and animals, so join for an exciting woodland adventure told through poetry, song, live music and stories.
If you and your children are fans of Julia Donaldson, you can’t miss Tales from Acorn Wood Live! This show brings Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s beloved Tales from Acorn Wood stories to life on stage for the first time in an enchanting lift-the-flap experience. Join us for toe-tapping songs, puppetry, and all the friends from Acorn Wood for a half-term treat.
Or, for something different, get your curiosity flowing with Rude Science!, for a fascinating spectacle. Enjoy BBC Gastronaut Stefan Gates’ revolutionary, high-tech, highly-explosive new show, packed with outrageous science stunts.
Stef is the high-octane presenter of 20 TV series (five for CBBC) and award-winning author of 12 books (including Rude Science). He’s internationally renowned for his world-class science stage shows.
Let’s get musical
