"A boy obsessed with 50s sci-fi movies about aliens has a recurring dream about a blueprint of some kind, which he draws for his inventor friend. With the help of a third kid, they follow it and build themselves a spaceship. Now what?"

That is the plot of the classic 1985 movie, Explorers. The 80's where a time when we could all dream, now for one day we going back to those glory days.

So bring your dreams, your kids and get ready for a Saturday afternoon full of space-age adventure.

This event is, especially for dads. Dads that would want to get involved, explore and create and get hands-on making sure that their kids believe too.

WHAT IS GOING ON?

The team behind TotRockinBeats bring you the very first in their new venture, DadsPlayDates. No more are dads confined to being sat on the sidelines in the parenting wars referred to as mere 'Babysitters'. No, we are taking over, baby!

WHAT WE'LL DO:

We will be heading up to Colonnade House to watch a private screening of the 80's classic Explorers then fulled by popcorn, pop and dreams we'll be running a crafting session to build our own spaceships and assorted space-related gadgets from washing-up bottles, loo-rolls, tin foil and anything else we can lay our hands on.

Imagine a Blue Peter/Tony Hart/Art Attack session with an 80's soundtrack, and you'll be about right.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED TO BRING:

The film will be a seated affair, but small bottoms might be more comfortable on the floor so feel free to bring a cushion/pillow with you.

Please bring along as much cardboard, loo-rolls, washing up bottles etc as you can manage - the more we have the more we can use.

We will be supplying some drinks and snacks but feel free to bring your own

WHAT TO WEAR:

We believe dads are superheroes so feel free to turn up in fancy dress!

WHO THIS IS FOR:

Dads that want to get involved with kids aged between 4 and 10
