Look out for Angela Lansbury, who appears as the Balloon Lady and Dick Van Dyke is Mr. Dawes Jr., the retired chairman of the bank.

There is a minimum booking size for this event. As each event will only have one group attending, we’re encouraging schools to book as many seats as they can to ensure that as many young people as possible can benefit from these screenings. The exact minimum booking size for this event can be found on the booking form.

All screenings in the programme will feature subtitles to support accessibility and literacy and are open to all schools. This is a pilot initiative and we will be welcoming feedback.

Please note that as this venue has a large screen capacity we will be inviting multiple school groups to attend this event with social distancing in place. If this event shows as fully booked please do join the waitlist and a member of the Into Film team will be in touch if we are able to accommodate your group also.
