There are two great things in this life: pop-up cinemas and Christmas films, and joining them in beautiful matrimony this December is The Village Green - the travelling cinema company. They're taking their glorious combo and pouring a whole load of festive glitter on it. Taking place in the completely gorgeous and utterly atmospheric ('tis the season for superlatives) Victoria Baths, the cinema will set up rows of vintage deckchairs in the empty swimming pool.
The Grade-II listed venue will be screening Home Alone on the 9th December and Elf on the 10th. Already thought that Christmas had come early? Well, Santa has been extra kind with the gifts this year; as well as the screening, there will be a DJ set, food from Dim Sum Su and Proove Pizza, and a bar serving Prosecco, craft beers and wine. Who knew Elf and Home Alone could get any better?!
The Village Green will be screening Home Alone (9th December) and Elf (10th December) at Victoria Baths, Heathersage Road, Chorlton-on-Medlock, Manchester, M13 0FE. Doors open at 6.30pm and the films start at 8pm; tickets start from £10.50.
