Enchanted Christmas Cinema: Home Alone
Grab a mulled wine and some popcorn, and settle in for a festive night like no other.
Christmas films are made to be watched together, on the big screen. We’ve transformed Turner Sims into an enchanted woodland cinema, the ultimate setting for your favourite festive films.
Every screening begins with a 15-minute live performance of classic Christmas songs on piano and vocals, the perfect way to get into the festive spirit. Then, as the lights go down, snow falls in front of the screen and Home Alone begins.
Can you believe ‘Home Alone’ is 36 years old? (Yes, we feel ancient too.) It’s still one of the all-time greats: perfect casting, the ultimate house-defence plan and a guaranteed hit of warm, cosy Christmas magic. Add John Williams’ unforgettable score, and it’s no wonder it’s become the sound of Christmas for a whole generation. Whether you know every line by heart or you’re introducing it to someone new, there’s no better way to see it than on the big screen.
