FORGET the porridge, it will be marmalade sandwiches all round as Paddington fans get the chance to watch the adventures of the little bear in Crumlin Road Gaol.

A special event has been organised by Into Film for the annual celebration of movies at Cinema Day 2018 on Bank Holiday Monday, August 27. The film education organisation chose Paddington 2 to tie in with this year’s Cinema Day theme of ‘Home’.

“Paddington 2 is one of the most popular films on our Into Film Club catalogue so we felt it a perfect choice for families for Cinema Day, not to mention the link with the prison venue and a healthy supply of homemade marmalade sandwiches” said Into Film's Peter Murray.

Into Film is a UK-wide charity which aims to put film at the heart of children and young people's education.

The screening is free – including marmalade sandwiches; for tickets see eventbrite.co.uk/e/special-screening-of-paddington-2-for-ni-cinema-day-tickets-48479459368. For more information on Into Film see intofilm.org
