An Alternative Father’s Day Gift Guide

Published June 14, 2022

This one’s for all the dads who say they don’t want anything (even though we know they do really!)

Take the father figure in your life on a trip to see the very best of independent film in our solar-powered cinema, a delicious beer and lunch on our terrace, a night of electrifying live music in our auditiorium or even nurture their inner Picasso's and book them on to one of our creative courses.

Whatever they're in to, we've got an array of gift choices for the alternative father figure in your life. Keep reading for some inspiration on what to pick this Father's day...

A PAIR OF CINEMA TICKETS

With a programme packed full of eye-opening documentaries, special screening events, groundbreaking new releases and unique film festivals, there has never been a better time to spend some quality time with the person that you call dad. We've just announced our programme for June, as well as our Surf Cinema Season and Big Screen in the Park.
