	Family films - Not all films are on everyday so check with cinema for availability and times:
	Local cinemas

	Kidsguide tip Some cinemas such offer very cheap deals for kids' films on weekend mornings. Some even let adults go free. Usually the film is one that has left the main screens so this is also a good way to catch up on any film you missed.
