The Magic Faraway Tree

Running time: 110 mins

Inspired by Enid Blyton’s beloved books, The Magic Faraway Tree follows the Thompson family as they move to the English countryside, where children Beth, Joe, and Fran discover a magical tree filled with quirky characters and portals to fantastical lands.

Andrew Garfield and Claire Foy lead an all-star British cast, joined by Nicola Coughlan, Nonso Anozie, Jessica Gunning, Dustin Demri-Burns, Mark Heap, Oliver Chris, and Hiran Abeysekera. Icons Sir Lenny Henry, Michael Palin, and Sir Simon Russell Beale appear as mystical wise men, with Jennifer Saunders and Rebecca Ferguson adding deliciously villainous fun.

Mother's Pride

Running time: 93 mins

From the team behind Finding Your Feet and Fisherman’s Friends comes Mother’s Pride — a heart-warming new British comedy-drama following the Harley family, who must rally together after the loss of their matriarch to save their beloved village pub through the art of traditional beer-brewing.

Starring an outstanding ensemble cast including Martin Clunes, James Buckley, Jonno Davies, Mark Addy, and Gabriella Wilde, the film mixes laugh-out-loud moments with heartfelt emotion as the community comes together to compete in the Great British Beer Awards.

The Shining

Running time: 144 mins

Stanley Kubrick’s adaptation of King’s novel follows the Torrance family to the isolated Overlook Hotel, where winter unleashes a growing terror. As Jack descends into madness and the hotel reveals its dark history, the line between the psychological and supernatural blurs. Screening in our Stephen King Season, it remains one of the most iconic explorations of fear ever filmed.
