The Barbican Centre's Family Film Week runs for seven days until 1 November 2026, making it a half-term destination for families. The programme mixes crowd-pleasing titles such as The Mandalorian and Grogu and Minion and Mobsters with more unexpected picks, including the Hollywood musical Singin' in the Rain and the classic 1960s Japanese monster film Ghidorah, The Three-Headed Monster. Each screening comes with its own bonus activity — whether that is a flash film quiz, a crafting session or a live introductory talk. Free workshops and other activities round out the offering. Visitors are encouraged to check the Barbican website for full listings, dates and times.
