Activities Days Out

Super Spoiling Treat For All The Family

As a family, we are pretty keen on taking the kids to the cinema. The 5 year old loves a flick, the 3 year old uses the usually empty cinema as a soft play and the 1 year old bumbles around at our feet.  We get to either watch (although I am not that keen on kids movies – they can give me a headache with the jarring graphics and mega noise – the Lego movie almost putting me off for life) or it has been known for us to have a little zzzzz.

We decided to try out the Children’s Film Club at The Soho Hotel in their very cool screening rooms in the heart of the West End as it was a step up from the usual Saturday morning outing including a delicious brunch, popcorn, prosecco and mini ice creams – all for £20 per head. Now that’s a way to get me to a kids film!

To top it all off, the chairs so comfy and if you sit down promptly you may even bag yourself a sofa.

Upcoming films include –

30th April – Kung Fu Panda 3

7th May – Shrek

14th May – Zootropolis 3D

21st May – Rise of The Guardians

We watched Alvin & The Chipmunks – Road Chip, which was surprisingly ‘watchable’. I have no doubt the surroundings helped as we were looked after so well and guess what, no chairs were climbed on and no one nodded off! I highly recommend you try it…

Parsons Green Film Society

Parsons Green Film Society is a new society founded to create a space for independent cinema.

Jane Strang Steel and her business partner, Howard Goldstein are both passionate film fans with backgrounds in media, film and TV. They wanted to build a membership of fellow film lovers and a local place to find movies not readily available in mainstream cinemas – classics, documentaries, foreign language and independents. The community aspect of PGFS was really important to them, and their audience loves the social element of the film nights too. With a new baby, it was a local project that Jane could work around motherhood!
