CINEMA will return to a market town next week with the showing of two family films.

Miracle on 34th Street and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory will be shown at the Hambleton Forum, in North-allerton, on December 23.

The 1994 film Miracle on 34th Street will start at 2.30pm and this year's remake of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, starring Johnny Depp, will start at 5pm.

The shows are being put on as a partnership between Hambleton District Council and Northallerton Rotary Club and are expected to become monthly events.

From the New Year the forum will be transformed into a cinema on the first Friday of every month, starting on January 6.

Cinema-goers will be asked to help choose what is screened.
