Christmas at the Movies: Nativity! (U)

Join the Alfresco Film Company for something that’s become a festive tradition; feelgood Christmas cinema in the most stunning of venues, Callow Great Hall, a former nunnery at the lovely Stanbrook Abbey Hotel near Worcester.

Martin Freeman stars as primary school teacher Mr Maddens, given the challenge of his life; directing the school’s biggest and best-ever nativity, and making it better than a rival show from the posh local school. If this isn’t hard enough, he also needs to win back the love of his former sweetheart Jennifer (Ashley Jensen) and persuade her to bring Hollywood to town to see the show. Laughter, love, and festive cheer abound in this classic tale that makes Mr Maddens’ lovely pupils the stars of the show. And we haven’t even mentioned the brilliant Mr Poppy!
