Arthur Christmas at Storyhouse is from Saturday 12 December to Sunday 13 December 2026, about 55 minutes' drive from Timperley. From £4 a child, book ahead, good for most ages, indoors.
Aardman's Arthur Christmas, about Santa's clumsy younger son racing to deliver one forgotten present, in Storyhouse's family film strand. Screenings are for children and the adults with them, start without adverts and cost a few pounds each. The Sunday showing is relaxed, which helps children who find a full cinema hard.
