• Wassailing is a centuries-old British tradition for marking the New Year, where a group of people walk round their neighbourhood singing special songs called "wassails". Traditionally, the wassailing has two strands - going from door to door being welcomed in local houses, and blessing apple trees and beehives so that they are fruitful and productive in the coming year. There are old recipes for wassail drinks to go with these activities, and descriptions of "wassail cups" which are the vessels out of which these would have been drunk. These traditions still continue unbroken in some parts of Britain, such as Cornwall. In other areas, it has been revived more recently, and it is common for these celebrations to take place on, or close to, January 17th, the "old" New Year's Eve. http://www.thenagsheade17.com/ http://www.walthamstowfolk.co.uk/ or http://www.roseandcrowntheatrepub.webeden.co.uk/

The little polar bear, saturday 3rd December

Doors open at 10 a.m for wintery crafts. The film starts at 10.45
Prices:
£5.00 (inc craft)

Under 2s free

Cert U

Based on a series of Dutch children's books by Hans der Beer, the animated feature The Little Polar Bear is a German production made up of three separate stories about polar bear cub Lars.

In the first, Lars meets and befriends a seal named Robby. In the second, he is stranded on an island and makes friends with a hippo, an eagle, and a killer whale. In the third, he and his friends plot to crash a ship that has been stealing all the fish out of the sea.

This film will enthrall young cinema goers with its delightful storyline, beautiful animation and positive environmental message. Youngsters will delight in this magical tale about a group of unlikely friends – a little polar bear, a seal pup, four maniacally depressed lemmings and some gullible seagulls, in the Arctic adventure of a lifetime.

Secret of kells November 5th

The next Kids film club will be screening 'The Secret Of Kells'.
Follow 12-year-old Brendan (voice of Evan McGuire) as he battles Vikings and confronts an ancient serpent god on a mission to locate a legendary crystal and complete the mythical Book of Kells. Brendan lives in a heavily fortified medieval outpost known as the Abbey of Kells, where the ongoing threat of Viking raids causes the peaceful monks to live in a state of constant fear. Along with his uncle, Abbot Cellach, Brendan labors to fortify the abbey walls daily so his people will be protected from invading forces. When the mysterious Brother Aidan arrives at the abbey carrying an unfinished tome filled mystical secrets, Brendan becomes illuminated, and his dormant talents are awakened. The book must be finished, but accomplishing that mission will be no simple task. As the Vikings close in, Brendan ventures into the surrounding forest and prepares to confront his darkest fears. Accompanying him on his dangerous mission is Aisling, a half-wolf/half-human fairy whose powers will help to guide Brendan through this enchanting yet dangerous new world.
