Traditional festive screening of the classic Muppet film with Kermit the Frog and the Muppet gang, shown as part of the Saturday Morning Pictures programme.
The Muppet Christmas Carol is coming to the Connaught Theatre in Worthing on Saturday 19 December and Thursday 24 Christmas Eve, both screenings starting at 10:15am. It's a Muppet retelling of Charles Dickens's A Christmas Carol, with Kermit the Frog and the Muppet gang taking on the roles of the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future. The film runs 108 minutes and is rated U by the BBFC for mild scary scenes, so it's one of those rare Christmas classics that works as well for the little ones as it does for the adults.
It's billed as one of the greatest Christmas films and literary adaptations of all time, and the venue describes it as one of its favourite screenings of the year. If you've seen it before, you know the drill: the Dickensian gloom of Victorian London meets the Muppets' brand of chaos, and the songs still hold up. It's a festive staple that fits right into the run-up to the big day, and having two dates to choose from — a Saturday morning and Christmas Eve — makes it easy to slot in around the usual holiday rush.

Both screenings are part of the Saturday Morning Pictures programme, which runs family-friendly films on the big screen. Tickets start from £3.50, with a £0.75 transaction fee on top, so it's a cheap way to get the whole family into the cinema for a couple of hours. Between the 10:15am start and the 108-minute runtime, you'll be out well before lunch on either day.
