Fantastic Franchises and How to Love Them

A highlight of the Potter-verse to date, the cinematic realisation of J.K. Rowling’s imagination finally has the chance to soar.

An ethereal, shimmering show sees the stunning Birdy continue running up that hill to join the greats of our time.

The astonishing impact and legacy of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. The sinister backstory that inspired the film.

Exploding gender politics and exploring the rich, fertile space in-between opposing points of view.

Modern meets medieval for a special screening of Monty Python’s anarchic masterpiece.

The little showman of years gone by still beats at the heart of the irrepressible Lucky Peterson.

Somewhere in the future Geordie comedy hall of fame, there’s a plinth reserved for Sarah Millican.

Boldly threading pop-philosophy and an optimistic view of humanity through a summer blockbuster.

Tossed tambourines, misplaced band members and ending on an argument. It can only be the Brian Jonestown Massacre.

A purgatorial primer into issues of tolerance, multiculturalism and free speech.

Charming the pants off the crowd with a brilliant – and brilliantly unexpected – mix of self-effacing comedy alongside songs old and new.

Completely hilarious and remaining not only brilliantly relevant but doing his best work yet, Ed remains a grand master of his craft.
