Outdoor family cinema in the gardens of Christ Church, Wanstead – reliably Wanstead’s favourite night out of the year. This year’s presentation is Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical, starring Emma Thompson, with lyrics by Tim Minchin. Revolting children and their families are most welcome!

Bring something to keep you warm and something to sit on – we’ll guide people with chairs towards the back, and those with picnic blankets/tarps towards the front. Please let us know in advance if you have accessibility needs. Only assistance dogs can be admitted.

Like Dahl’s book, everything in this film, from tenderness to terror, is so exuberant. (D. Telegraph)
