Nothing heralds the arrival of Christmas more than watching a classic festive film, and this year, The Village Screen Pop-up Cinema will be decking the halls of Manchester’s Victoria Baths to deliver the ultimate seasonal cinematic lineup.

The Edwardian grandeur of Manchester’s water palace will be the backdrop for enjoying these classic films at their best, on the big screen!  The Gala pool with its period detailing and ornate tiles make a stunning setting for a memorable festive treat to enjoy with family or friends.

On Friday 06/12watch a young, fresh-faced Macauley Culkin as he tackles and outsmarts a pair of clueless burglars to protect the family home in everyone’s favourite action-packed Christmas adventure film, Home Alone.

Then on Saturday 07/12, there will be a double whammy of Christmas crackers, kick-starting the day with a matinee screening of the hilarious tale of Buddy (Will Ferrell) as he sets off on to the mean streets of New York in search for his long-lost dad, in the family favourite, Elf. The Christmas cheer continues in to the evening with the action-packed adventure, and Dr. Seuss’ much-beloved children’s tale, How The Grinch Stole Christmas.

Finally, the festivities are wrapped up on December 08/12, as celebrations draw to an end with a warm fuzzy feeling with the screening of Love Actually.

The Richard Curtis directed film that follows the lives of eight very different couples dealing with their love lives in the build-up to Christmas.  With a brilliant ensemble cast including, Hugh Grant, Keira Knightley and Colin Firth, and a soundtrack to match this is the ultimate festive romantic comedy for a pre-Christmas date night!

Ahead of each screening, there will be a DJ playing and the venue will be festooned with twinkling lights to add extra festive sparkle.  Some of the North’s finest street food vendors will be in attendance so that you can enjoy a bite to eat and a pop-up bar will be serving a selection of drinks throughout the evening.

Bookings can be made in advance here.

Anyone under the age of 16 must be accompanied by an adult.
