November 5th - Whale Super Highway

Whale Super Highway explores the mysteries of the humpback whale, following their migration from the top of Western Australia to Antarctica and back again — one of the longest migrations on the planet.

The humpback whale, which was hunted to the brink of extinction, has made one of the greatest comebacks ever. This ecological success story is on display on the whale super highway: a stretch of water travelled by more than 35,000 whales annually. The whale super highway is more than 4,000 miles long, and stretches down the coast of Western Australia to Antarctica. Tens of thousands of whales travel this route, from their breeding grounds to their feeding grounds.

While the humpbacks thrive, the largest mammal on the planet, the blue whale, travels these same waters and struggles to survive. In Whale Super Highway, marine biologists follow these majestic creatures on their migratory journey, in search of answers.

Running time: 45 minutes

January 7th - Legend of the Enchanted Reef

When their home reef is destroyed by a fishing trawler, three brave fish set out on a quest across the vastly polluted ocean to find the Enchanted Reef – a mythical underwater haven free from humans…

The lively perciform Shorty, his smart sister Indigo and Jake, a daring sawfish, thrive in a bustling and colourful coral reef. One day, out of nothing, an enormous trawl devastates their reef, forcing the trio to leave their destroyed habitat and go on a search for a new and safe home.

‘Legend of the Enchanted Reef’ is an imaginative and humorous, as well as exciting and touching, animated movie for the whole family: the quest of three lovable characters for a safe home reveals the moving beauty of the seas but also their endangerment through massive human impact.

July 1st - 'Our Story' with David Attenborough

Created by the award‑winning production team behind many of Sir David’s most celebrated documentaries, Our Story blends stunning real‑world natural footage, cutting‑edge animation and a powerful original score to surround audiences in the incredible tale of Earth and humankind.

Previously seen only at the Natural History Museum in London, this enhanced version has been completely reworked for Market Hall’s pioneering dome - the first of its kind in Europe. With a 360° projection system, a 19.1 spatial audio sound system and bespoke seating designed for comfort and immersion, this is a sensory experience that goes far beyond traditional cinema.

Sir David Attenborough said: “In this new immersive experience we explore two stories – the 4-billion-year epic of the Earth, and our own, relatively brief chapter, the story of humankind. These two stories are not, at this moment, aligned – but they could be. My hope is that anyone visiting the ‘Our Story’ experience will come to understand how important humanity is in writing the planet’s next chapter.”

Running Time: 50 minutes
