Classic Christmas Films in Manchester

Between Thursday 5th December and Sunday 8th December 2019, the ‘Magical Christmas Move Experience’ will feature modern cinema classics The Holiday, Love Actually, Elf, Home Alone, and Santa Claus The Movie.



Visitors are invited to leave behind the madness of Christmas shopping and escape to a Winter wonderland where they can wear their favourite Christmas jumper, sit back, relax, and enjoy a festive movie classic.

Alongside the programme of heart-warming modern cinema classics, be delighted by their fully immersive family experience, which includes a live choir at every film screening, enchanted forest, Christmas themed refreshments – and appearances from Father Christmas and his festive elves.

The Magical Christmas Movie Experience starts on Thursday 5th December with a 6pm screening of The Holiday, followed by Love Actually with a LIVE Gospel Choir at 9pm on the same evening.

Upon arrival, movie fans will be greeted by a live choir singing carols and festive songs, before taking a trip through the Narnia-inspired wardrobe of fur coats and transported into a magical enchanted Christmas forest, where the carols will also be heard. The forest centrepiece is a 14ft Christmas tree, surrounded by snow drifts, snow dusted pine trees, Victorian lamp posts, and many more surprises!

After exiting the enchanted forest, guests will be welcomed to the food hall to choose from festive refreshments, food and drinks including popcorn, candy floss, burgers, doughnuts, street food, hot chocolate, Christmas cocktails, and mulled wine.

Although indoors, you are encouraged to dress warm. Blankets will be provided, and will be donated to the city’s homeless community after the final screening.
