Christmas has arrived at Bristol Film Festival. From much-loved festive classics and big-screen favourites to live music, wine tasting and special events, our Christmas programme brings the season to some of Bristol’s most distinctive venues.

As well as our huge Christmas in Clifton event, which brings classic films, live jazz, a Christmas Gift Fair and much more to Clifton Village, we’re delighted to be heading out across the city. From alternative Christmas favourites at Arnos Vale to our ever-popular Die Hard screenings at Averys Wine Merchants - complete with a highly fitting German vs American wine tasting - 2026 is the perfect time to start a new Christmas tradition, or return to an old favourite, and catch your Christmas favourites back on the big screen.

Whether you’re looking for a festive day out, a Christmas night with friends, an unusual gift or simply an excuse to see a favourite film on the big screen, we look forward to seeing you this Festive Season!
