CHILDREN in Worcester will be among thousands of young people to go to the cinema free of charge as part of National Schools Film Week.

Now in its 12th year, National Schools Film Week, from October 15-19, is the largest event of its kind in Europe and last year record numbers of children attended free events, seeing current releases and classics in over 500 cinemas.

The focus of this year's event is The World We Live In. Events in Worcester will take part at the Odeon and Vue cinemas, which will be showing a host of different films.
