Join Bristol Film Festival at Clifton Summer Screenings!

Taking place in the beautiful Mall Gardens in the heart of Clifton Village, this is outdoor cinema with a twist. With covered seating, a state-of-the-art LED screen and wireless headphones, enjoy your film come rain or shine - this is an outdoor experience that’s not to be missed.

Friday morning at Clifton Summer Screenings 2024 focuses on our Charity Partners, starting with a 65th anniversary screening of Sleeping Beauty. With its animation inspired by pre-Renaissance art, Walt Disney’s Oscar-nominated 16th animated feature film took almost a decade to create, and remains one of the studio’s most influential and enduring classics.

We’ll be donating £2.50 from every ticket sales towards our selected charities. You can find out more about the charities here before the film, they will also be onsite to discuss their work, so make sure you catch them in person on the day as well!

When the evil fairy Maleficent isn’t invited to Princess Aurora’s christening, she curses the child, condemning her to death before her 16th birthday; however, the intervention of three good fairies alters the curse to ensure that the princess will fall into a deep sleep, only to be awakened by true love’s kiss.

Contains very mild threat and violence
