A WORCESTER cinema is hoping residents will come out in force to support a charity preview screening of Mr Bean's Holiday.

The Vue cinema, in Friar Street, is holding the fundraiser on Sunday, March 18, following a successful preview screening of the British police comedy Hot Fuzz.

Tickets are priced £10 for adults and £5 for children and all proceeds will be given to Comic Relief.

Cinema manager Tony Bywood said the film was an ideal treat for Mother's Day.

He said: "It's a good excuse to take Mmum out for the day and treat her, or alternatively a chance to let her have the day off. Dad could take the children to the cinema and let mum relax at home."

The film sees Rowan Atkinson reprise his role as the accident-prone Mr Bean.

The screening means people will be able to see the film early, as it is not due for national release until Friday, March 30.

Tickets are available by calling 08712 240240.
