Kids’ movies at the David Lean among summer holiday offers

Discounted cinema screenings, free cricket coaching and a family fun day are all available for Croydon families over the school summer holidays, as local organisations offer affordable ways to keep children entertained.

The activities are available to families with children aged up to 19, or 25 if they have special educational needs or a disability.

The David Lean Cinema, at the Croydon Clocktower, will be screening a series of great, family-friendly movies from July 24 to August 14, with tickets just 35 each. The films on offer include the new live-action Lilo and Stitch, Inside Out 2, Paddington in Peru, and The Wild Robot. All screenings start at 11am, but seats are limited, so best to book early.

More information, including details of relaxed screenings and ticket bookings, can be found on the David Lean Cinema website.

There’s also free coaching available as part of a Surrey County Cricket Club. Youngsters aged from five to 11 can enjoy the sessions at Woodlands Family Hub in South Croydon. Classes will be running each Friday for a month, starting July 25 and spaces can be booked by emailing: familyhubs@croydon.gov.uk. Children must be accompanied by parents or carers during sessions.

Woodlands Family Hub, based at the Quest Primary School on Farnborough Avenue, is also staging a family fun day on July 30, from 10am.

Open to all ages, there will be crafting, activities and games, all free and with no booking required.
