St James Dads (or Significant Other) Movie Night
Dads have been emailed this week with information on the inaugural ‘St James Dads (or Significant Other) Movie Night!’
An exciting night out to celebrate the first week back at school of term 3. St James Dads (or Significant Other) and kids will pack out the Dendy Palace Cinema to watch
‘Space Jam – A New Legacy’.
Information for the event can be found on the following try booking link: https://www.trybooking.com/BRRWU
Bookings are still open and will close Sunday 20th June (or if sold out prior).
As ever, this event could prove extremely popular so book early to avoid disappointment!
