With over 12 children’s summer activities on at the BFI on the Southbank, London, it can be hard to choose the perfect children’s event. Catering for everyone from budding young film makers to London’s toddlers, the range of kid's events on offer includes education activities such as lessons in film making, to arts and crafts activities and a large selection of film screenings designed to entertain both children and their parents. There's also family friendly film screenings, activities and workshops, and the Family Funday preview events - a great full day out for all the family that takes place once a month screening everything from family classics to latest releases.  Here are the Culture Whisper highlights we think your little film enthusiasts will love.


For toddlers in London

London’s tiny tots can get messy making painting and making stop-motion animations at Shaun the Sheep Messy Time for the Very Young at the BFI. With a Shaun the Sheep inspired afternoon workshop, kids can dress up, run around and make as many things as they like, whilst learning the basics of animation and film making. Parents are welcome to sit, make and watch their kids get filthy without having to do any of the clearing up!  

After an afternoon of mess making, children and their parents can join their new friends for the Shaun the Sheep Movie 2015 at 14:30pm, and watch Shaun and his flock travel to the big city on a mission to find a farmer whilst avoiding capture by the city’s animal warden.

£5 each/ siblings £4

Thursday 13 August 12:30 - 14:00
