Charity screening of Planes

Mayor of Antrim, Councillor Roderick Swann, is hosting a Charity Cinema Afternoon at the Old Courthouse on Thursday, April 24 at 2pm for NSPCC. The main attraction will be Planes.

The story centres around Dusty Crophopper, a little duster plane with a fear of heights and a crazy dream of being a racer.

While his friends need convincing, Dusty gets the training he needs from Skipper, a veteran fighter, and qualifies for the ‘Wings Across the World’ race. Will he win the race? You’ll have to come along and find out!

Councillor Swann said: “It’s a privilege to be able to support charity in my capacity as Mayor and I chose NSPCC because of the growing problem of abuse, neglect and bullying against children. I hope that we can fill the Courthouse for this great family film and raise lots of money for this fantastic charity.”

NSPCC community fundraising manager, Fionnuala Savage, added: “We are so grateful to the Mayor of Antrim for his ongoing dedication and support for NSPCC Northern Ireland.

“We run a range of services for local children and families, and the support from the mayor and the funds raised from the cinema afternoon will really make a difference to our goal to end child cruelty.”

The running time of Planes is 91 minutes and has a U certificate. Tickets costs £5 each and are available from the Box Office www.antrim.gov.uk/boxoffice or phone 028 9446 3113/9448 1338.
