Got Keen? Open it in the appAbout
Make the most of a summertime Christmas with free outdoor cinema, featuring some of your favourite Christmas and festive-season films.
From family and romantic comedy faves such as Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Elf and Sleepless in Seattle to Academy Award-winning and critically acclaimed bildungsromans like It's a Wonderful Life and Citizen Kane – this year’s curated selection of festive films take inspiration from the spirit of Christmas, and are about family, love and what it means to life a good life.
Gather friends and family and get there early to grab a deckchair for the film – or BYO picnic blanket and film snacks to make a night of it.
