Disney's Hexed casts a magical new spell over the big screen in a fantasy adventure from Walt Disney Animation Studios. Set in a vibrant world where magic is both feared and forbidden, the story follows a teenage girl who suddenly discovers she has inherited powerful and unpredictable magical abilities. When an ancient curse resurfaces and threatens her kingdom, she must learn to control her powers before the magic consuming her begins to change the world around her. Blending humour, adventure and heart, Hexed continues Disney's long tradition of fantasy storytelling that has captivated audiences for generations.

The film features a lively voice cast led by Zoey Deutch, Hailee Steinfeld, Rashida Jones, Stephen Fry and Tracey Ullman, bringing a colourful ensemble of characters to life. Visually the film leans into a bold new animation style inspired by hand-drawn fantasy artwork and magical storybook illustrations, giving the world a distinctive enchanted look. Following the success of recent Disney animated hits such as Encanto and Wish, Hexed promises a spellbinding mix of comedy, music and adventure as a young heroine learns that the very power that frightens her might also be the key to saving everyone she loves.

A young boy is at the age where he's beginning to doubt the existence of Santa Claus. However, one Christmas Eve he hears a thunderous noise outside and, on investigating, finds it's being made by a huge train - the Polar Express. A kindly conductor asks him aboard and soon he and some other children are on a rollercoaster ride north to see the big man himself. Director Robert Zemeckis honed the use of "motion capture" technology when filming The Polar Express, and the technique perfectly suits this charming, fantastical nature of a film about the magic of Christmas.

The Garfunkels are back at the Riverside!

After their sold out show in January 2026, The Garfunkels are super excited to be back for another show this December at the Riverside.

A bit about The Garfunkels:

“There was one small problem - neither of us wanted to be Paul Simon. To make it work, one of us was going to have to get a hair cut. And that simply wasn’t going to happen”

Not many 20 year old lads think of starting a Simon & Garfunkel tribute act - but Suffolk-based musicians Tom Mumford and Angelo Littler did exactly that.

The Garfunkels’ set is a celebration of Simon & Garfunkel’s  music and story. With rich harmonies and engaging storytelling, you can expect to hear the most iconic songs over the years - from the debut album Wednesday Morning 3AM’ to bestselling, award wining ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’.
