Over at Cineworld Sheffield, there will be a screening of Avatar in 3D, for one day only, showing in the VIP and main cinema, from 2pm to 5pm.

On the lush alien world of Pandora live the Na’vi, beings who appear primitive but are highly evolved. Because the planet’s environment is poisonous, human/Na’vi hybrids, called Avatars, must link to human minds to allow for free movement on Pandora. Jake Sully, a paralyzed former Marine, becomes mobile again through one such Avatar and falls in love with a Na’vi woman. As a bond with her grows, he is drawn into a battle for the survival of her world.

At Underbank Activity Centre, on Oaks Lane in Stocksbridge, Father’s Day will be marked with a difference this Sunday, from 10am to 5.30pm, where you can choose from activities including canoeing, sit on-top kayaking, stand-up-paddle-boarding, survival skills, or sailing. The experience costs £16 for adults and £12 for children and no previous experience is needed. Call 01782 722226 to book.

Adventure Now, on Kenwood Road, will also be inviting dads along for free this weekend, to try their hand at everything from axe throwing and archery, to crossbow shooting and much more. Visit Kenwood Hall Hotel this Sunday to try the fun for yourself.
