Barbie

Raid your closets, scour the racks of Dandy Vintage for some dazzling threads, and join us in Barbie Land for our extra special dress-up screening of Barbie for International Women's Day — we want to see your finest, pinkest outfits, whether you’re a Barbie or a Ken.

Join us for the smash hit summer blockbuster that made fun of the patriarchy with wit and visual excess - feminism never looked so popular! 

With always-blue skies, pastel pink houses, and all the fashionable fun a doll could desire, life is perfect in Barbie Land – unless you’re having an existential crisis. Barbie (Margot Robbie) happens to be having one. When her questions put her on the path to the real world, naturally Ken (Ryan Gosling) isn’t far behind, and the pair soon discover the joys and perils of living life among humans.

Let's hope Greta Gerwig comes away with an Oscar this weekend for this fabulous riot of matriarchy and popular feminism! You might also be interested in our Let's Talk Film: Greta Gerwig event on Wednesday 20 March.

You might also be interested in our Family Fridays and Parent and Baby regular film screenings.
