It's a summer of family-friendly film fun at Vue in Barrow, where children's TV favourites and blockbusters hit the big screen.

With new offerings such as 'Big Shorts' and 'Mighty Mornings', the cinema caters to all ages, providing an introduction to the cinema for little ones while providing value for bigger family outings.

'Big Shorts' makes movie magic for the youngest fans, tailored for those aged from one to four, with screenings of favourites like 'The Gruffalo's Child' and 'Zog and the Flying Doctors'.

These shorter films offer a relaxed cinema environment with dimmed lights and lower sound levels, easing the young audience into their first big-screen encounters.

For those seeking value for their entertainment pound, 'Mighty Mornings' offers deals on family blockbusters.

Films such as 'Kung Fu Panda 4' and 'The Present' screen during weekends and school holidays with tickets starting from £2.49 when bought online.

This summer's blockbusters include Pixar's 'Inside Out 2' and Illumination's 'Despicable Me 4'.

Inside Out 2 brings us back to Riley's mind, introducing new emotions that she encounters in her teenage years.

As for Despicable Me 4, you can expect more Minion mayhem, criminal capers, and laughter, arriving at Vue on July 12, as Gru takes on new villains Maxime Le Mal and his femme fatale girlfriend, Valentina.

Vue's 'Back on the Big Screen Family Treasures' season is set to bring classic family favourites back to the big screen, including 'Toy Story 2' and every live action outing of Marvel superhero Spider-Man to date, from the Tobey Maguire trilogy to the Tom Holland trilogy, including 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' later this summer.

Michael Hitchen, general manager at Vue in Barrow, said: "Every film fan discovered their love for stories on the big screen with their very first visit.

"Because of this, we’re looking to make this experience as memorable as possible for our young audiences to really help create their love for films with their family with our Big Shorts and Mighty Mornings offerings.

“With some incredible new blockbusters, family treasures and even some pre-school favourites heading to Vue, we’re thrilled to help families and youngsters enjoy their first trip to Vue, as well as each visit afterwards.”
