Children will adore Halloween tale Shaun the Sheep: The Beast of Mossy Bottom, which finds the farm animals turning to a rogue scientist to fix their ruined pumpkin patch. Soon, events have spiralled out of control and there's a strange beast rampaging through the countryside. Can Shaun and friends save the day?

Tickets for this new film include special offers for family groups of 3 and 4.
