Over four nights, we screen wholesome Christmas family favourites followed by grown-up cult classics – helping you decide which side of Santa’s list you’re really on.
Bring the family for an early ‘nice’ film, or – if you prefer your Christmas with a twist – stay as the sun goes down for a ‘naughty’ classic. Christmas Outdoor Cinema at the Square this year celebrates the magic and the mischief of the silly season, through film.
Do you like your Santa jolly and generous or as a devilish horned Krampus? Do you prefer your Christmas chaos to be Dr Seuss-silly or the all-out mayhem caused by a moist mogwai? Each double bill turns the snow globe upside down and inside out, giving you both Christmas cheer and Christmas fear.
Make a date, bring your mates, and settle in for a cinematic sleigh ride through the heart and the horror of the holiday season.
Naughty or nice – everyone’s welcome.
Christmas Outdoor Cinema is presented by Fed Square, supported by United Airlines.
