The BFI’s Excellent Easter!
The Southbank is a great place to take the kids during any school holidays and this easter it has outdone itself. There is always so much going on for families of all ages and our partners and friends at the BFI have lots going for the kids to enjoy, be inspired by and create. Classic films, animation workshops and a restaurant that lets kids eat free – a perfect place to enjoy some great family time.
In this glorious, hand-drawn animated tale the Moomin family decide to leave Moominvalley for a holiday on the Riviera and a taste of high society. Snork Maiden and Moominpappa are enchanted, but the rest of the family less so!

Funday; Shakespeare on Film: The Lion King
Simba is born into lion royalty but is led astray by his crooked Uncle Scar, a pack of hungry hyenas and bumbling companions Timon and Pumbaa. Simba is destined to become a great king in his own right, but to do so he must stop running away from his problems. Loosely based on Shakespeare’s Hamlet, The Lion King is one of Disney’s modern classics.
Funday Workshop: The Lion King
Loads of safari fun. Your little ones will have the chance to create their very own circle of life animations with our team of experts, plus the chance to get stuck into jungle-themed arts and crafts. All ages are welcome with prizes and treats for the best creations, animations and the best roar!
Free to ticket holders of The Lion King screening.
