BEANBAG CINEMA:

from Maitland Gaol winter school holidays

Paddington 2

Take the kids to Maitland Gaol for a special indoor screening of Paddington 2. Escape the cold weather, pack your favourite snacks and non-alcoholic drinks, and join us in the Gaol Auditorium for this special school holiday film. Maitland Gaol will have limited supply of beanbags for the kids and some chairs for the adults, however you are more than welcome to bring your own blankets but please no chairs.

Paddington is back in this live action animated comedy film. Paddington tries to get a present for his adoptive aunt’s birthday, but the intended gift is stolen from the shop. The cute as a button bear is wrongfully convicted and imprisoned, with his family having to find the real culprit while Paddington tries to stay out of trouble in the big house.

Full of laughs for the little ones and young at heart, this is a wholesome family friendly event.
