About

If you're looking for something to do as a family over the summer holidays, why not pop along to the Bill Douglas Cinema Museum?

As well as our usual fascinating exhibitions of cinema and cinema going, this summer there are plenty of other activities for families to take part in. Why not have a go at creating your own optical toy? Or share the story of a beloved film? Perhaps you'd like to play a game or do a jigsaw puzzle? Or take a photo on our very own red carpet. Alternatively, you might just like to use our conversation prompts to talk about films and stars.

The activities are all free and will be available every day from 10am to 5pm.
