“The Kid Who Would Be King” – Wells Film Festival returns to The Bishop’s Palace –  26th & 27th April 2019

The Bishop’s Palace in Wells is delighted to be hosting the Wells Film Festival for its 4th outdoor screening on the Croquet Lawn.

This year’s film is “The Kid Who Would Be King”, a family fantasy action-adventure film about a band of young kids embarking on an epic quest to thwart a medieval menace.

Alex (Ashbourne Serkis) thinks he’s just another nobody, until he stumbles upon the mythical Sword in the Stone, Excalibur. Now, he must unite his friends and enemies into a band of knights and, together with the legendary wizard Merlin, take on the wicked enchantress Morgana. With the future at stake, Alex must become the great leader he never dreamed he could be.

With scenes filmed at Glastonbury Abbey, Chalice Well and Glastonbury Tor, locals will enjoy spotting familiar locations linked to the Arthurian legends.

The Drawbridge will open 6.30pm with a Hog Roast and drink. 8pm pre-show followed by the film. Will finish no later than 11.30pm.

This spectacular event always sells out quickly every year so get your tickets soon.

Tickets £25 each to include food and drink.

Bring your own blanket or seating and an umbrella as the show will go on whatever the weather.

Tickets available from Wells Film Centre  www.wellsfilmcentre.co.uk
