Spooky Season at the Corn Exchange!
We're hosting a fang-tastic range of events to keep you entertained this Halloween, from cult classics in the cinema, to creepy creative crafts!
In our cinema there are terrifying treats for all ages to get you in the Halloween spirit from Saturday 22 October until Tuesday 1 November. Young film fans and their families can enjoy Disney’s popular Coco (2017), where young Miguel learns about his great-great grandfather’s singing career in the Land of the Dead. Get in the spooky spirit and enjoy a variety of cult classics; Hocus Pocus (1993) where a curious boy awakens a trio of diabolical witches who died in the 17th century, and Labyrinth, where David Bowie stars as the now infamous Goblin King.
Alongside these classic screenings, we are hosting a special late-night screening of The Lost Boys (1987) in our Auditorium on Saturday 29 October, at 10:30pm! We are also offering a special pre-screening noodle box menu for you to sink your teeth into. Check out the menu and pre-order a delicious late night bite here.
Celebrating its 20th anniversary, experience Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on the big screen, where mysterious whispers have a petrifying effect on the students of Hogwarts. Fancy dress is optional but strongly encouraged throughout this week...
