These screenings are not open to unaccompanied adults, but only to adults accompanying children. (Arrietty goes on general release on July 29, distributed by Optimum Releasing.)

Nearly all the screenings are on Saturday, although the FACT Liverpool Picturehouse has an additional screening on Sunday. The previews will be shown at the following venues:

Cambridge Arts Picturehouse. Saturday July 23, 11.30 a.m. Doors open at 10 a.m. for a Borrowers-themed fancy dress party with games, activities and prizes for "the best-dressed Borrowers.
