The Easter holidays are taking place from March 31st until April 15th 2012. That’s right – two weeks of the kids eating too much chocolate, messing the house up and incessantly chanting that they’re bored. I bet you can’t wait!
If you’re already dreading the start of the month, why not take the proverbial bull by the horns and plan ahead? It may not always be the cheapest option in comparison to a day in the great outdoors, but a trip to the cinema never has to depend on the British weather.
Here’s the rundown of child and teenager friendly films that are showing at cinemas over the Easter holidays:
The Hunger Games
