Parent/baby cinema starting at Peckham Plex in January - register if you might be keen


Recommended Posts

Just passing on a message from the Peckham Plex that they will be starting a parent & baby screening in January. Saves having to trek on the 37 bus to the Ritzy! For those who don't know the Peckham Plex, it is just across from Peckham Rye station, less than 10 minutes on the bus from most parts of ED (63, 363, 12, 197, 37, P13 buses all stop right out front).


The screenings will be held on Thursdays at 11.30am, the price of the tickets is ?5.99 which includes coffee & cake. They also have facilites such as pram park, baby changing and bottle warming facilities. Adults must be accompanied by a baby under 1 year old.


They are trying to gather names of interested parents, so do email via the Peckham Plex website if you want to add your name to their customer list: [www.peckhamplex.com]


They'll need to have a decent attendance to ensure that they can keep this up, so the more people who show interest the better. I want them to have so much demand that they agree to introduce a second screening on Monday or Tuesday once I'm off on maternity leave in March :)


The baby cinema was definitely my favourite part about my last maternity leave!

... surely it's under a year because over a year the babies (well toddlers) aren't going to be able/be fair to expect them to keep still which would be more disruptive than babies crying/feeding during a film.


Not saying it's right or wrong, but suggesting this is the likely reason.

Oh the thought of being in a cinema with my toddler!! Horrendous! Now what I would like is a creche provided.....


Never made it to any of the big scream with no. 1 - would love to try with no. 2 but will need to find childcare. Might start securing my mum now....


Hopefully see some of you there come the spring.

same here...my toddler's attention span is approxinately two minutes and as for sitting still in a seat without a 5 point harness?? Sounds almost like being back on an aeroplane for what was honestly one of the worst nights of my life. Snuggly little three month old though...ahh bliss :)

Yes, the baby cinema trips ended for me once my son was about 8 months. Just too hard to keep him entertained and still that long, even at that age! Now, age 2, I'm lucky if he sits through one episode of Charlie and Lola while I drink a cup of tea.


Glad to see people are interested in this. Let's hope they can make a go of it!

I found with the first two that you only get from newborn - about 9/10 months (when mine started crawling) then the game is up. As soon as they are mobil eyou spend too much time haring about after them to be able to follow the film.


Those first few months when they (hopefully) sleep through the whole film in the car seat/on a playmat are ace though :)


My kid's first films were 1. Borat and 2. Rockandrolla (Guy Ritchie film)!

my baby's first film was Sex and The City 2 - poor boy!!


Great news about Peckham's big scream BTW. Thank you again for sorting and agree we need to spread the word so that as many people as possible register and go, otherwise there's no point in them doing it.

    • But what are you basing that judgement on? Vibes? where exactly and under what council is money being spent wisely? what about parties which promise to cut waste, come to power and find out there is no waste?   
    • I've just had James from Trelco round doing taps and hot water.  Prompt, efficient and pleasant people and the cost came in under what we thought it would be! Will definitely use them again.
    • Yes - adult care is a large part of the CT bill.  That does not mean the council spend our money well or wisely.        
    • “What do councils spend all the money on?” Is, in my view, one of the most profoundly emblematic of our times  we go about our lives, backed up by councils and governments and complain they aren’t needed  reform win elections based on “we’re gonna go in and slash all the waste!” Only to later admit there effectively isn’t any oh and by the way we need to increase council tax   Now all we have to offer is racism and ineptitude sorry about that  https://www.gbnews.com/money/reform-elon-musk-doge-failed-savings So where does the money go? On a multitude of services - but the increasingly aged population and the care provision required is a large part of it  the government could give councils more money to avoid council tax rises  - but the we would have to pay more in jewels taxation  and as a country we tend to pay less than other similar countries  so we end up with an expensive mend and make do approach  I don’t see any political parties offering a solution   Starmer is obviously lacking in many areas but he is the result of a hostile media and a reluctant population willing to hear truths  (wait until we hear how much we will need to increase defence spending by in the coming years) If a party stopped pretending all the money was wasted but published a list of costs, projections and proposals that wasn’t gutted to suit the landscape of needing to not bemonstered by the press or deemed too expensive by voters I would be very interested      can’t see that happening tho  (also worth reminding ourselves of all the brexiters who said things like “I don’t care how much it costs   I don’t care if I lose my job  it’s about taking back control!” And yet now we find them complaining about increasing costs. As they always will complain about everything  because it’s always someone else’s fault)
