Wonka (Kids Cinema)

Wonka screens at The Hub on Verulam on Thursday 3 December, part of the venue's Toddler & Kids Cinema programme. It's a musical fantasy that follows a young Willy Wonka, played by Timothée Chalamet, whose ambitions to make and sell chocolate lead to an unlikely friendship with an orphan. The film is a prequel to the story we know, focusing on Wonka's early days rather than the factory years, and it's a musical, so there are songs to go along with the chocolate-making.

Because it's part of the Toddler & Kids Cinema, children attend alongside an adult. The screening is held indoors in The Hub's Terrace, a setting that's better suited for families than a standard cinema hall. It's a good shout for an afternoon out with the kids, and since it's a musical, it's the kind of thing that works just as well for the little ones as it does for the adults coming with them.

It starts at 16:00 and should finish around 17:56, so you're in and out well before dinner. Tickets are £8. The Hub is at 5 Verulam Road, St Albans, AL3 4DA.
