Tabby McTat (U) + Music with Tara Franks of Tots Tunes!

Family Film Club

,Cinema 2
A cat and kittens are in a garden.

Come along for a very special toddler friendly screening with live music from Tara Franks.

Come along and meet Tara Franks, the creative force behind Tots Tunes, cellist and musical director extraordinaire! She’ll take us through the paces of music she’s picked out from all over the world to get us dancing and shaking to the beat! 

Following the musical introduction, it will be time to sit back and relax for the warm-hearted story of Tabby McTat, Fred the busker’s cat. Based on the book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler, this beautiful story is a gentle adventure about love and family, featuring the voice talents of Sopé Dìrísù, Jody Whitaker, Susan Wokoma, Joanna Scanlan and (of course!) Rob Brydon.
