'TIS the season of love and giving, so we decided just one week of Arrival and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them just wasn't enough. If you had a mild panic, thinking you hadn't had time to catch either of these films, fear not, my friends. And with the popularity of Rowling's latest adventure creating quite a buzz, we invite you to join the wizarding world while you still can!

From December 9th-15th, we also have a heartwarming tale based on a true story and the worldwide best-selling novel: A Street Cat Named Bob.

James Bowen doesn't have life particularly easy as a recovering drug addict living in London. The struggle to get clean and turn his life around is ever mounting, but an unlikely hero is waiting just around the corner. In this case, it comes in the form of a stray cat called Bob. After adopting the cute ginger feline when it shows up at his house, it may seem that Bowen saved Bob, but this chance encounter may have actually saved more lives than one.

Finally, we officially kick off the festive season at Ilkley Cinema with a pair of films that go together better than mistletoe and wine at Christmastime. Find out what life would be like if George Bailey had never been born in the timeless classic It's a Wonderful Life on December 13th. And if you fancy treating the kids to a merry film this weekend, then how about Elf: the story of a man raised as an elf, who is sent to the U.S to find out his true identity and bring his infectious holiday cheer to the real world!

To wrap up this festive line-up, we must ask you: Have you got your ticket? Then all aboard The Polar Express, where we will ride all the way to The North Pole for Kid's Club this week!
