Electric Dreams: Best of 80s Film

Running Date: Fri 28 - Sun 30 Aug

This August Bank Holiday, we are taking you back in time to the 1980s with a weekend full of 80s classics.

Kicking off on Friday with a special 80s quiz by Showroom Film Quiz host Simon, this will then be followed up by a screening of First Blood to set the weekend off in action packed fashion.

Saturday, we embrace all things Carpenter as we present three classic entries from the master director John Carpenter: Big Trouble in Little China, They Live, and The Thing. These screenings can be included in your overall weekend pass, a pass specifically for the Carpenter Triple-Bill, or purchased separately.

Family Time will also being getting in on the action by screening the iconic The Princess Bride on Saturday morning.

Closing out the weekend on Sunday will start with the greatest board game adaptation of all time, Clue, followed swiftly by one of the decades most definitive comedies, Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

All films mentioned can be accessed via the weekend pass which proves great value for money, or all are available to be purchased separately.
