5 Star 'Nativity' opens!

Why not skip the 150 million pound blockbuster 'A Christmas Carol' and, instead, treat yourself to the festive fun and frolics on offer in 'Nativity', Debbie Isitt's film that was set in Coventry and Bablake among many other Midlands and Warwickshire locations?

The Coventry Telegraph has awarded this 'Christmas cracker' a full 5 stars', describing it as 'the best Christmas present you could unwrap this year.' The Daily Mirror (3 stars) praises the 'show-stopping closing performance' while the Guardian (2 stars) states 'it's hard to dislike this warm fuzzy hot-water bottle of a movie'.

It may not be an obvious Oscar nominee but we are fiercely backing 'Nativity'. It's a true 'Cov-fest' and involves many of our Junior School children and you will recognise many senior school landmarks. Imogen Stern was one of 3 senior school actors in the film and former pupils from the late 90s will spot Emily Morris (aka Amelia Tyler) a number of times.

Martin Freeman, Marc Wootton, Ashley Jensen, Jason Watkins, Pam Ferris, Alan Carr and Ricky Tomlinson are the big name draws but to us the children from Holy Family and naturally Bablake steal the show!
