Dust off your ugly Christmas sweater because The Galileo Open Air Cinema is back to celebrate another fun and festive outdoor movie screening on December 25th, bringing tons of magic and cheer to families and friends looking for something exciting to do once the sun sets on Christmas day.

Taking place at the magnificent Kirstenbosch Gardens on the foot of Table Mountain, this jolly occasion is set to knock your holiday socks right off! Doors open at 6pm, well after your much-needed digestive nap, with a warm welcoming from Santa Claus himself, dishing out candy canes and stylish red headpieces – regardless of whether you were naughty or nice.

Lay out your picnic blanket for a bit of relaxation or opt for a friendly game of giant jenga to show off your skills. A vibey, artisanal food market is available on location, serving up an array of tasty treats, including pizzas, nachos, spirit-enhancing beverages, sweets and of course, popcorn!

Once tummies are full and the stars are out, Jim Carrey will have you in stitches with the fitting, family-friendly feature, How The Grinch Stole Christmasbased on the beloved children’s tale by Dr Seuss. In the crazy town of Whoville, where Christmas is most treasured, lives a grumpy, green hermit who plans on ruining Christmas for everyone.

Make an outdoor movie screening your new holiday tradition and book your tickets at www.thegalileo.co.za. Space is limited, so pre-booking is essential.

Apart from their special Christmas and all other regular screenings, The Galileo offers an array of beloved family-friendly films throughout the summer holidays, from golden classics like The Sound Of Music to modern day hit animations like Trolls and Moana. The entertainment doesn’t stop there – vibey music, interactive games and an on-site mini-market serving up delicious food and snacks add to the unique bucketlist experience.

Relax on the luscious lawn with a glass of wine while the little ones run wild or enjoy a giant game of jenga for a little inter-family competition. Once tummies are full and fun has been had by all, snuggle up for a beautiful sunset and the much-anticipated movie.

Furthermore, Sunday movie-goers at Kelvin Grove Club in Newlands will be treated to an additional element of fun with face-painters, jumping castles and child-minders with a host of activities and games set to keep the kiddies thoroughly entertained and a way to exert all that extra energy before settling down for the film.
