Hello
The summer is here and all the team at Gulbenkian are excited about our new family festival bOing! The festival draws together performers from theatre, circus, dance and music for a magical weekend at the end of August. Film will play an important role in bOing! starting with the classic Alice in Wonderland from 1951, reflecting the wider Wonderland theme of the festival as a whole. Gulbenkian puts children and young people at the heart of our offer and we run a regular Saturday slot for family films throughout the year with tickets only £2.50 per person. This season this includes Postman Pat: The Movie and Maleficent, alongside Up and E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. Of course, this summer sees our regular mix of blockbuster and independent film, as well as our increasingly popular live and recorded theatre, opera and classical music. And don’t miss Monty Python Live (mostly) in July. Have a great summer
