See great films, live shows and exhibitions and discuss it all at the Guru, its unique bar and restaurant serving the best in drink, snacks and Indian dishes. In the cinema, take advantage of Wild Wednesdays – all cinema tickets £7 – all day on Wednesdays.   

Catch the new releases including: 

All of Us Strangers (15) - Fri 9 – Thu 15 February (excl. Mon and Tues). See website for times

One night in his near-empty tower block in contemporary London, Adam (Andrew Scott) has a chance encounter with a mysterious neighbour Harry (Paul Mescal), which punctures the rhythm of his everyday life.

As a relationship develops between them, Adam is preoccupied with memories of the past and finds himself drawn back to the suburban town where he grew up, and the childhood home where his parents (Claire Foy and Jamie Bell), appear to be living, just as they were on the day they died, 30 years before. 

The Color Purple (12A) - Fri 16 – Thu 22 February (excl. Mon and Tues). See website for times 

Experience the extraordinary sisterhood of three women who share one unbreakable bond in The Color Purple. 

This bold new take on the beloved classic is directed by Blitz Bazawule and produced by Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg, Scott Sanders and Quincy Jones and has been nominated for BAFTA and Academy Awards. 

Special Event Cinema:

Vanya (15) - Thu 22 February, 7pm 

Andrew Scott (Fleabag) brings multiple characters to life in Simon Stephens’ (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) radical new version of Chekhov’s Uncle Vanya. 

Hopes, dreams, and regrets are thrust into sharp focus in this one-man adaptation which explores the complexities of human emotions. 

Family Cinema:

Wonka (PG) - Family Cinema - Wed 14, Fri 16 & Sat 17 February, 2pm

Based on the extraordinary, iconic character at the centre of Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, one of the best-selling children's books of all time, Wonka tells the wondrous story of how a young chocolate-maker, armed with nothing but a hatful of dreams, manages to change the world, one delectable bite at a time.

In the gallery see the latest new media exhibition:

Tenderly Towards the Tipping Point - Until Sun 14 Jan (Excl. Mon & Tues), FREE - Kaushal Sapre, Mohit Shelare, Sonam Chaturvedi, Aasma Tulika, Bazik Thlana.

How can an exhibition occupy time? Watermans presents a group of leading contemporary artists from India with a radical approach to the use of a wide variety of media in their art.

Tenderly Towards the Tipping Point brings together a multitude of artistic responses to time and the imposition of time.
