n A love story through the shadowy lens of a joint film-making venture comes to the Arena next Wednesday and Thursday, June 5 and 6, when the theatre screens the film drama Hitchcock starring Anthony Hopkins and Helen Mirren.

Sacha Gervasi’s film lays bare their love story through the making of the 1960 thriller, Psycho, which would become the director’s most controversial and legendary film.

Hitchcock can be seen at 1.30pm and 7.30pm next Wednesday and 7.30pm next Thursday. Tickets are £5 for the matinee and £7 with concessions £5 for the evening screenings.

He takes matters into his own hands and sets off on a game-hopping journey across the arcade through every generation of video games to prove he’s got what it takes to be a hero.

n A summer craft and food fair is being held from 11am to 4pm this Sunday, June 2, at the Arena.
