A Summer Treat for Kids: Free Cinema and Hot Dogs at Coal & Cotton
This summer, families in Salford can look forward to a delightful experience at Coal & Cotton, a popular family-friendly pub that is making a significant effort to keep children entertained during the school holidays. Starting July 23, the pub will transform into a mini cinema, offering free film screenings along with complimentary hot dogs for its young diners.
Exciting Film Schedule
The initiative will run every Thursday and Friday afternoon, providing a fantastic way for families to enjoy classic animated films such as Encanto, Toy Story, Tangled, and Frozen. The screenings are set to commence at 3 PM, and families are encouraged to secure their spots through the pub's website between 2 PM and 3 PM on the day of the event. Owner Jason Green expressed his commitment to creating a fun atmosphere for families, stating, "We know how hard it can be to find things to do over the summer, so every Thursday and Friday we’re turning into a mini cinema for the little ones."
A Community-Focused Venue
Coal & Cotton is not just about movies; it plays a vital role in the local community. The pub regularly hosts various events and collaborations to engage families and strengthen community ties. Beyond the cinema, patrons can enjoy live acoustic music in the garden along with regular music sessions every Friday and Saturday night. Afternoon teas are also available, adding to the venue's charm with an inviting atmosphere in their heated outdoor tipi seating.
Transforming Local Spaces
The Leigh Road venue has undergone a remarkable transformation since reopening in 2019 following a £750,000 renovation that redefined its aesthetic appeal. With its warm and welcoming interior and vibrant outdoor settings, it has quickly become a go-to destination for locals. Furthermore, the pub's commitment to quality is evident in its production of hand-crafted Boothstown Gin, which is well-received in the area and available at local shops including the RHS Garden Bridgewater.
It’s clear that Coal & Cotton is dedicated to enhancing the local community experience, providing families with accessible entertainment options that bring joy during the school holidays. As more and more families look for fun activities this summer, Coal & Cotton stands out as a beacon of positivity and community spirit.
