Fulham Road Picturehouse has a number of kid-friendly film screenings, with several different clubs suitable for different ages.

First off, their Kids’ Club takes place every Saturday morning. Exclusively for children and their parents or carers, tickets are priced from £3.30. There is a wide variety of exciting upcoming films for you to watch – from more recent blockbusters to classics that you’ll remember from your own childhood (and that you’d maybe like to relive!). Films such as The Little Mermaid and Puss in Boots (both released this year) to Cinderalla, Bambi, Peter Pan, The Jungle Book and Beauty and the Beast. And if you feel like watching it for what will surely be the 57th time for you, there’s also Frozen!

Toddler Time is another fantastic club for children being run at the Picturehouse. This club again offers tickets priced from £3.30, with screenings of features suitable for the younger members of your family – there’s several different screenings of Sarah & Duck, Tee and Mo and The Bravest Knight, for example, as well as the wonderful adaptations of Julia Donaldson’s books such as The Gruffalo, Zog, The Snail and the Whale, Room on the Broom and (my personal favourite), the amazing Stick Man.

In addition, the Picturehouse also holds regular Autism-Friendly Screenings. These screenings have a number of adaptations to reduce anxiety and over-stimulation for viewers that allow for a safe experience for those with autism, learning-difficulties and/or other sensory sensitivity. These adaptations include lights being left on low during the screenings, flms being played at a reduced volume, and customers being able to sit where they like and move around, make noise or take breaks from the screen whenever they need to. Autism-Friendly Screenings of older films – usually family-favourite animated classics – take place on the third Sunday of every month (with tickets priced from £3.30) whilst screenings of new films will take place either on weekday or Sunday mornings. (You can see a list of upcoming films being shown on the Picturehouse website.)

Head to the Fulham Road Picturehouse to enjoy films with your family!

Spirit of Peace and London and District Unitarians will be inviting the local community, including families, to come together at the Kensington Unitarian Church for a joyful evening of music, storytelling and participatory artwork, as part of the Mayor’s Community Weekend. This is a return of the team following a successful event in Kensington last Winter with the theme “Celebrating Diversity.”

There will be contributions from visiting artist Hanna Yaffe (singer and storyteller from Jerusalem), Julia Aaisha (musician and founder of Unity Music), Catriona Alderton (art counsellor and co-founder of Art Journeys), and Heather-Jane Ozanne (facilitator and CEO of Spirit of Peace). This multi-faith team has many combined years of experience building bridges between minority and majority communities, using the arts to create a space for positive connection, and using the arts therapeutically for wellbeing. The evening will be based on hopeful and uplifting themes. Attendees will be invited to join in with some songs, and Catriona Alderton will lead a participatory art activity for those who choose to take part. Light refreshments will also be served. 
With thanks to the Westhill Endowment and National Lottery Community Fund for their support.

Brought to you by the SoNote Production Team, the concert will feature the marvellously talented cellist Denis Shapovalov. He is the winner of the XI International Tchaikovsky Competition and was also the first classical musician to play at the North Pole! Denis will perform with award-winning pianist Caroline Clipsham, playing Rachmaninoff’s unique cello sonata, written for his closest friend – acclaimed cellist Anatoliy Brandukov – and some beautiful romances arranged for cello and piano.

At the interval, guests will be offered complimentary drinks, and will have the chance to admire the paintings by special guest LuSee Art. These works have been inspired by Rachmaninoff‘s romances.

Tickets for the concert cost £67 or £77 and can be purchased online at buytickets.at/thesonoteproduction/926220. Use the special promo code Friends10 to get 10% off the price of a ticket!
