Take a break from the Christmas shopping for this mystical, charmingly wintry tale.

Take a break from the Christmas shopping for this mystical, charmingly wintry tale, first seen in 1986, but never released on video or DVD. Elf-like orphan Tolly is sent to his snowy ancestral home for a festive stint with his eccentric grandmother. Soon he realises they are not alone! Ghostly children from generations past hint at strange stories of long ago and, slowly, the pagan presence of old Green Knowe emerges from the garden.

We look forward to welcoming Alec Christie, the star of The Children of Green Knowe, for a Q&A after the screening.
