Home Alone

The Hub on Verulam is screening Home Alone on Sunday 6 December, a family-friendly Christmas afternoon in the middle of St Albans. It's a proper early-December date, so it works as a way to kick off the season rather than something you have to squeeze in between the big Christmas Day plans.

The screening is in The Box, the venue's cinema room. The Hub itself is on Verulam Road and does a bit of everything — food, drink, cinema and workspace, with a programme of talks, screenings and social events running through it. The Box is also home to the Cinema Supper Club, an immersive experience that pairs a festive film with a themed meal served during the screening rather than as a separate pre-film dinner, so the room is set up for more than just a standard cinema run.

For this one, though, it's a straightforward screening of the 1990 classic, and a small bag of popcorn is included in the ticket. It's billed as a family-friendly Christmas afternoon, so it's the kind of thing you can bring the kids along to if you're looking for a low-key way to get them into the holiday spirit. Tickets are £12.
