Festive Fun with Peppa Cinema Experience

Festive Fun with Peppa comes to Towner Cinema in Eastbourne on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 November, and then again on Saturday 21 and Sunday 22 November. It's a big-screen experience built for the Christmas season, running just under an hour and rated U, so it's one of those easy morning outings with the kids.

The programme brings together seven classic festive-themed Peppa Pig episodes, with four brand-new songs woven in. The episodes centre on Peppa and her family celebrating Evie's first Christmas, and the whole thing works as a look back at some of their favourite seasonal memories. It's 58 minutes in total, so it fits comfortably into a morning without overstaying its welcome.

If you haven't spent much time there, Towner Cinema opened in 2017 with support from Arts Council England and the Eastbourne Arts Circle. It's a state-of-the-art independent cinema with a 4k HD projector and a Dolby surround-sound system, and it does 'cinema plus' activities like introductions, Q&As, and programme notes alongside a relaxed cafe bar. Its regular partners include the Eastbourne Film Society, the University of Sussex's School of Media, Film and Music, Eastbourne Rainbow, and Eastbourne Cult Film Club. They also run accessible screenings—captioned and in a relaxed setting—with complimentary tickets for carers.

One thing to keep in mind: Towner doesn't run trailers, so the advertised time is when the film actually starts. All four dates are at 11.30 AM, and tickets are £5.
