Three locations are showing festive films for you and your family to enjoy
FESTIVE cinema returns to Cardiff this Christmas so you can watch movies in some amazing locations.
From Elf to Home Alone there are many films worth going to watch and these are where you can see them.
Cardiff Castle
The Castle is hosting Winter Wonderlands ice skating this year but will be home to a Christmas cinema as well.
They’re teaming up with Underground Cinema to bring you The Nightmare Before Christmas, Elf and many more festive films.
Cardiff Castle ticket manager, Lloyd Glanville said: “They are so popular. Home Alone and Elf are those Christmas classics that we know people will snap up.’’
Visiting tourist, Solomon Michelo, 25, from Glasgow said: ‘’I would 100% go to one of the films.’’
With the new Covid variant being an issue, Cohine Kayya, 27, from Glasgow and visiting Cardiff said: ‘’If the cinema is outside, it is fine and if people test themselves and stay socially distanced it would be good as well.’’
“Home Alone is already sold out and The Polar Express is down to the last four tickets,” said Mr Glanville.
Due to the pandemic, Mr Glanville stated: ‘’There is a slightly reduced capacity on the screening, normally it is 90 but it has been cut to 55 to allow for greater distancing but they almost always sell out.’’
The films will be shown in the castle’s Undercroft and will be shown Saturday, December 18 and Sunday, December 19.
Tickets are £8.50 for adults and £5.50 for children.
