Relive your favourite movie moments from the comfort (and safety) of your car.
The silver linings of Covid-19 are few and far between, but one of them has to be the reintroduction of Galileo Open Air Cinema’s wonderfully retro drive-in. This old-school experience is a fun, entertaining and social-distanced way to spend an evening!
Not only will you be treated to a blockbuster hit (see the table below for times and venues), you’ll have the option of ordering a selection of snacks – such as pizza, popcorn, sweets and more – when you book your tickets online via Webtickets.
Doors open at 5pm and movies start at 6.30pm. As you enter the venue, collect your food and snacks before parking your car. Then find your spot, reverse in, open the hatch and get comfortable with mattresses, cushions and blankets!
Speaking of blankets, The Galileo team is running a blanket drive during July in support of shelters in and around Cape Town. Simply bring your blanky donations to any of the drive-in screenings during the month and drop them off at the entrance when you arrive.
There are also spot prizes for the best-dressed car so get your creative juices flowing with fairy lights, a movie-themed dress code, lanterns and more!
