We've got two fantastic events arriving at the Rio this week, and there's something for every kind of cinema lover.

National Theatre Live: Les Liaisons Dangereuses (15)

Passion, deception and scandal take centre stage in this gripping National Theatre production of the timeless French classic. Featuring unforgettable performances, razor-sharp dialogue and breathtaking staging, this is theatre at its finest, brought to the big screen for one special evening.

Whether you're a seasoned theatre-goer or looking to experience National Theatre Live for the first time, don't miss this incredible event.

They're back... and as chaotic as ever!

Expect laugh-out-loud moments, outrageous antics and plenty of banana-powered fun for all ages. While the little ones will love every minute, don't be surprised if the adults are laughing just as much!

Whether you're joining us for an evening of world-class theatre or a family trip packed with laughs, we'd love to welcome you to the Rio this week.
