Meet the Jolly Christmas Postman at the Mayor’s gala screening of Paddington in Peru
Royal & Derngate and Northampton Filmhouse are pleased to be hosting The Mayor’s Charity Family Gala screening of Paddington in Peru, which will be raising funds for the Mayor’s chosen charity The Lewis Foundation.
At the special screening on Saturday 16 November at 2pm, Northampton Town Council Mayor, Councillor Paul Joyce will be joined by the Jolly Christmas Postman, from the theatre’s Christmas show, to welcome young filmgoers before the movie. All young people with children’s tickets will receive a Christmas gift, and in addition the Jolly Christmas Postman will be collecting any letters for Santa that the children bring along!
Mayor Joyce, who is himself a postman, is delighted to be able to link up with the theatre’s festive production of The Jolly Christmas Postman, a new stage adaptation of the classic children’s book by Janet and Allan Ahlberg.
