Colour Box events are all about viewing and doing

On the first weekend of every month, MAC and Flatpack Festival join forces to deliver Colour Box - a series of events that have been created to delight young imaginations, using creative crafting to bring the magic of cinema alive.

Colour Box presents hands-on creative family workshops led by professional artists and filmmakers. The workshops are followed by immersive screenings showcasing the best family films in our comfy cinema (see below for upcoming events).
