Rufus Longbottom and the Space Rabbit<br />
6pm When Space Rabbit’s planet is destroyed<br />
by a meteorite she and her family escape in the<br />
nick of time. A blast separates her space pod<br />
from the others, sending her hurtling towards<br />
Earth, where she lands outside the Tandaria<br />
Carehome, frightened and alone. Inside is Rufus<br />
Longbottom, an old gentleman desperate for<br />
one last adventure. He sees a pulsing light<br />
outside the sitting room window, goes to<br />
investigate and so begins a journey in which<br />
the unlikely pair go to the ends of the earth to<br />
find a family.<br />

Freya: A Viking Saga<br />
2pm and 4pm Freya, a Viking girl and friend<br />
of the gods, is in a bit of a pickle. She is about<br />
to become a giant’s dinner! Freya must use<br />
all her wits to escape old Gorm’s cooking pot<br />
and prove that friendship is “stronger than the<br />
strength of a giant and more powerful than<br />
the magic of a god.” The rivalry between the<br />
Norse gods and the Frost Giants is brought<br />
humorously to life in this colourful re-telling<br />
of two famous Viking myths and Freya’s own<br />
saga.<br />
