You can also head back to the Stone Age with free screenings of Aardman’s Early Man. Get ready for an extraordinary journey into an exciting new world unleashing an unforgettable tribe of unique and funny characters voiced by an all-star British cast. Set at the dawn of time, when prehistoric creatures roamed the earth, Early Man tells the story of courageous caveman hero Dug (Academy Award®-winner Eddie Redmayne) and his best friend Hognob as they unite his tribe against a mighty enemy Lord Nooth (Tom Hiddleston) and his Bronze Age City to save their home. Alongside the screenings, there will be a range of drop-in, family-friendly activities. Learn the art of flint-making using soap, touch and hold real prehistoric artifacts and much more. The screenings are in celebration of Early Man’s release on digital download on 21 May and on DVD and Blu-ray on 28 May. Find out more here.
