Family Screenings
Enjoy the magic of the big screen with your loved ones, as we present a curated collection of films suitable for all ages.
THE ULTIMATE CHRISTMAS DOUBLE BILL COMES TO CLIFTON COLLEGE CHAPEL FOR A VERY SPECIAL MATINEE
In one of Bristol’s most beautiful venues, we’re presenting a very special double bill: Raymond Briggs’ The Snowman, screened back to back with The Snowman & The Snowdog. The Oscar-nominated original and its stunning sequel have entertained generations, and we’re delighted to be presenting them together for a matinee screening this December. We might not all be able to sing ‘Walking In The Air’ like Aled Jones, but rest assured that these films will make your spirits soar just as high!
THERE’S MAGIC IN THE AIR IN THIS DEFINITIVE DICKENS ADAPTATION
Our screenings in Clifton College Chapel continue with one of the all-time great Dickens adaptations, The Muppet Christmas Carol. In addition to all of the usual ensemble cast of Kermit and friends, Michael Caine plays it straight as Ebenezer Scrooge, in a career highlight performance that underpins the trademark Muppet zaniness with real pathos that will warm even the sternest of hearts - and the setting within the Chapel will transport you back in time alongside the protagonists.
THE FESTIVE FAMILY COMEDY (WITHOUT KEVIN’S FAMILY) CONCLUDES OUR 2025 PROGRAMME
We’ll be concluding our evening at The Mount Without - and our December screenings - with the madcap misadventure Home Alone. John Hughes’ delightfully mischievous film made a household name out of Macauley Culkin, and its wince-inducing booby trap sequences remain a staple of the festive film-watching tradition - so if you’re looking for something to get you out of the house and into the Christmas spirit, join us for our final 2025 film night (just don’t forget any family members en route…)!
IN SPACE, NO-ONE CAN HEAR YOU CLEAN
The sweetest robot film is back in time for Valentine’s weekend! we’re presenting another screening of the perennial Festival favourite WALL•E this February. The delightful sci-fi misadventure is both an epic voyage into humanity’s future, and a nod to silent comedy cinema. It’s perfect for a date night, or for the entire family.
