<p>Our pick of the big-screen action</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://domecinema.co.uk/DomeCinema.dll/WhatsOn?f=19672150" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Harry Potter &amp; The Order of the Phoenix (opens in a new tab)">Harry Potter &amp; The Order of the Phoenix</a>, Mon 20 July, Dome Cinema, Worthing</h3>



<p>The fifth in the Harry Potter series is packed full of spells, secrets and Sirius Black. Harry&#8217;s return to Hogwarts doesn&#8217;t quite go to plan &#8211; when does it ever? Those still adamant Harry Potter is a kid&#8217;s series won&#8217;t be claiming so after this instalment. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Dunkirk (opens in a new tab)" href="https://www.thecapitolhorsham.com/whats-on/all-shows/dunkirk-12a/16763" target="_blank">Dunkirk</a>, Tues 21 July, The Capitol, Horsham</h3>



<p>After all, we&#8217;ve all shown a fair bit of Dunkirk spirit these last few months. This tearjerker follows the fortunes of the hundreds of Allied soldiers surrounded by enemy forces on the beach, their backs to the sea. It won three Oscars and it stars Tom Hardy, in case that&#8217;s, you know, of interest at all.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://domecinema.co.uk/DomeCinema.dll/WhatsOn?f=18675789" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Trolls, World Tour (opens in a new tab)">Trolls, World Tour</a>, until Thur 23 July, Dome Cinema, Worthing</h3>



<p>Awwww. The Happiest Movie Ever is a big fuzzy feelgood romp packed full of catchy tunes, and starring none other than Justin Timberlake. A treat for the whole family. </p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://www.thecapitolhorsham.com/whats-on/all-shows/downton-abbey-pg/16771" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Downton Abbey (opens in a new tab)">Downton Abbey</a>, from Fri 24 July, The Capitol, Horsham</h3>



<p>Fun fact, Downton was the most nominated non-US TV show in the history of the Emmys. Over six seasons it scooped an absolute trophy cabinet of awards, so if you haven&#8217;t seen it then head to the big screen to find out what all the fuss was about. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">EXHIBITION</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://www.shorehamgallery.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Summer exhibition at Shoreham Art Gallery (opens in a new tab)">Summer exhibition at Shoreham Art Gallery</a>, until July 31</h3>

<p>This year would have seen the 10th anniversary of the Adur Art Trail. Instead an exhibition will be held at Shoreham Art Gallery throughout July, featuring paintings, photography, sculpture, ceramics, glasswork, jewellery and much more by local artists. All the work is inspired by the surrounding area, from the rolling hills of the South Downs to the coast. A different artist will feature each day and work will be available to buy.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/bodiam-castle" target="_blank">Bodiam Castle</a>, Bodiam</h3>



<p>Although the magnificent 14th century castle itself is closed, you can still visit the grounds which have plenty of space for little ones to run themselves ragged – and plenty to look at too as the castle sits surrounded by its own moat. The car park and toilets are open, as is the Castle cafe for takeaway food and drink. Book your visit online.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a href="https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/batemans" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Bateman’s</a>, Burwash</h3>



<p>The gardens and estate of Rudyard Kipling’s Jacobean house are open to visitors and takeaway food and drink is available from the Mulberry Cafe. The house itself is still closed. Make sure you book ahead online – members still go free but you do need to book.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/nymans" target="_blank">Nymans</a>, near Haywards Heath</h3>



<p>Another one for garden open, buildings closed! The lovely intimate gardens and woodlands around this romantic house and ruins are open daily, and as with all NT sites, you’ll need to book ahead online first.</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/petworth-house-and-park" target="_blank">Petworth House and Park</a>, Petworth</h3>



<p>Petworth House and Pleasure Garden is open – book in advance, you know the drill here. The magnificent Petworth Park with its famed deer is also open and if you’re parking in the North Car Park for the park only, you don’t have to book. There’s acres of space in the park and a range of habitats from woodland to heath to explore, not to mention the herds of deer, so youngsters will be well entertained.</p>
