THE LAND BEFORE TIME

  • The Porsche Pavilion The Mall Gardens, Clifton Village Bristol , BS8 4BH England (map)
What it’s got in endless abundance is charm, humor and some moments of genuine pathos. It’s like classic Disney, in that it transcends its boundaries as a child’s movie: nearly everybody will enjoy it
— Stephen Hunter (Baltimore Sun)

Taking place in the beautiful Mall Gardens in the heart of Clifton Village, this is outdoor cinema with a twist. With covered seating, a state-of-the-art LED screen and wireless headphones, enjoy your film come rain or shine - this is an outdoor experience that’s not to be missed.

Saturday morning is all about dinosaurs this year, starting with the epic animated adventure The Land Before Time, perfect for the budding young dinosaur experts in your family. Before the screening, make sure you visit our dino display in the NFU Hospitality Pavilion - you might even come face to face with our very own animatronic dinosaurs, and meet some of the creatures that inspired the film!

About The Film

In prehistoric times, a drought forces dinosaurs to seek refuge in a legendary oasis known as the Great Valley. When young dinosaur Littlefoot is separated from his herd, he must learn to work with an unlikely group of friends to find their way to safety across a harsh landscape prowled by “sharptooths”.
