Our lovely local cinema, The Lexi were the winner in this year’s Time Out readers poll.
Many users of Queen’s Park Gardens voted for the Lexi and we would like to offer our congratulations, albeit belatedly.
It is a wonderful cinema to enjoy films and other events but if you do a couple of hours gardening with us, we’ll give you time credits that will entitle you to see a film for free!
We love the environment and are all concerned with recycling and reducing waste.
If you’ll not be using any fossil fuels to get there, this early preview of an exhibition looks really interesting. They’re holding a raffle where you can earn yet more Time Credits!
