Friday, February 15 at 7.30pm: Mary Poppins Returns (U), Kinokulture, Arthur Street, Oswestry.

After their first adventure with their magical nanny, Jane and Michael Banks have grown up – and Michael has three children.

They’ve suffered a personal loss, and the wonder has gone out of their lives – but with the help of the practically perfect Poppins (Emily Blunt), as well as a lamplighter named Jack, they will rediscover the joy and magic they once shared.

Kinokulture is also showing Mary Poppins Returns on February 16, 18, 19 and 21 (various screen times apply).
