Big Screen events

Why it’s a Xmas treat: Because we all deserve a bit of magic this Christmas, and it doesn’t get more magical than a lavish production of The Nutcracker. Take your pick from the Royal Opera House or the Bolshoi Ballet’s take on the classic Christmas ballet. Either way, there’ll be spectacular costumes, exquisite dancing and beautiful sets — and you’ll have the best view in the house. There’s also a very special Christmas concert by the King of Waltz, André Rieu. This is Christmas with extra bells on.

What’s On:

ROH: The Nutcracker

Bolshoi Ballet: The Nutcracker

Not forgetting the annual Cbeebies Christmas Show, with exclusive big screen content. You’ll make their day – plus you get to sit back and relax, too.

TO TAKE YOU TO ANOTHER WORLD…

Give yourself the gift of a couple of hours of uninterrupted big screen bliss

The biggest new blockbusters

Why it’s a Xmas treat: OK, so a black-clad Keanu Reeves doesn’t scream Christmas, but the first new Matrix movie in nearly two decades is definitely on our list to Santa. As is Tom Holland’s *possibly* last hurrah as Spider-Man (which promises lots of special surprises). Like your heroes more suited and booted? How about a Kingsman origin story? Then there’s the small matter of Steven Speilberg’s epic technicolour take on one of the most iconic musicals of all time. It’s what the big screen was made for.

What’s on:

West Side Story

Spider-Man: No Way Home

The Matrix Resurrections

The King’s Man
