FESTIVE FILMS
We always see in the festive season with a couple of Christmas titles and we hope you'll love this year's offerings!
A Lexi Christmas tradition, we'll of course be welcoming our old friend George Bailey in the perennial classic IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE starring James Stewart.
Last year one of our members got in touch to recommend some holiday screenings of the beloved 2004 French musical-drama LES CHORISTES. We loved this idea and are delighted to bring it back to UK cinemas for its 20th anniversary! Fans of Ralph Fiennes recent northern escapades in THE CHORAL won't want to miss this beautiful story of a music teacher who transforms a boarding school for troubled boys into a choir after the Second World War.
And don't forget that from this Friday's release of WICKED: FOR GOOD, you can accompany these films with our seasonal snack favourites: a mince pie and mulled wine.
Avoid leaving it until the last minute this year and secure the ideal Christmas gift for the Cinema Lover in your life!
You can buy the film fan in your life a gift membership which would cover the cost of a year-long love affair with the movies. There's also the option to buy our Lexi Gift Vouchers which come in denominations of £10, £20 and £30, so you can gift the cost of a snack bundle, bottle of wine or even tickets to the cinema. Put a smile on the face of your loved ones this Christmas and give the gift of cinema.
Get yours here or at our box office!

NEW RELEASES
The Christmas break doesn't mean a break from our regularly scheduled programming and we're overwhelmed with fantastic options this year.
Flying somewhat under the radar, do not miss our one-week only theatrical engagement of Kate Winslet's directorial debut: GOODBYE JUNE from the 19th. This powerful British family drama features one of the best ensembles of the year with Timothy Spall, Andrea Riseborough and Kate herself all brilliant. Pay particular attention to Helen Mirren's heartbreaking performance as the family's matriarch whose health takes a turn for the worse during Christmastime. Freida McFadden's bestselling thriller novel THE HOUSEMAID gets a tense big screen adaptation featuring a delicious Amanda Seyfried performance, previewing at The Lexi from the 22nd. The hotly awards tipped SENTIMENTAL VALUE joins us from the 27th, an acclaimed drama about family relations that's the perfect palette cleanser to any Christmas dinner fallout.
With the children off school we also have a variety of family fun options for adults and kids alike with ZOOTROPOLIS 2 and A PAW PATROL CHRISTMAS joining WICKED: FOR GOOD in our line-up.
Be sure to catch all of these over Christmas as the New Year will be even more jam packed with MARTY SUPREME, HAMNET and AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH all hopefully hitting our screens in January.
