As the summer season draws to a close we welcome families to join us for a BIG Screen Adventure at Portrush Cinema as we follow a tiny snail on an amazing journey on the tail of a huge humpback whale. This film is based on the picture book written by Julia Donaldson and illustrated by Axel Scheffler. It is a joyous, empowering story about the natural wonders of the world and discovering that no matter how small you are, you can make a difference.

To coincide with this special screening NI Science Festival have organised an Interactive Seashore Adventure with Beach Schools NI which will take place a short walk from the cinema.  Your ticket will include access to this activity. Please follow the directions and guidelines below and dress appropriately for beach rambling.

Session One: Film 11am -11.30am, Seashore Adventure: 11.45am – 12.30pm

Session Two: Film 12.30pm – 1pm, Seashore Adventure: 1.15pm – 1.45pm
