The Easter holiday starts this weekend and children have two weeks off from 6th – 22nd April. Abingdon’s new cinema, The Abbey, will be screening some new, family-friendly films: Missing Link and Peppa Pig’s Festival of Fun. The Dumbo film should also be on soon.
In the animated film Missing Link, Myths and monsters investigator, Sir Lionel Frost, sets off on an adventure to the Pacific Northwest to prove the existence of a legendary creature – Mr. Link.
Peppa Pig is celebrating 15 years of entertaining children and there will be ten brand new episodes, making up an hour for little ones to spend with Peppa and her family.
Then coming soon is Dumbo 2019.
Ian Wiper, Managing Director says: “Dumbo is the first of several fantastic live action Disney remakes to look forward to this year, along with Aladdin and the Lion King. The ticket demand has already been huge.”
As well as the Passion Play this Saturday at 2pm, there is also the Abingdon Horticultural Society Spring Show from 2pm until 4pm. The entrance fee for non members is £1. There will be a plant stall and refreshments will be available.
Members compete in classes for Spring Flowers, Baking, Photographs and Handicrafts, and there is a special section for young people to enter a range of exhibits.
