“There are few cinematic ventures that capture the Christmas spirit in such abundance and hit the Holiday target so directly on the nose”
DOORS: 18:30 | FILM STARTS 19:00
Step inside Bristol Museum & Art Gallery for your very own “Night at the Museum” to enjoy a truly special movie screening. Enter this magnificent space after hours, enjoy live performers and then take your seat in the Rear Hall to watch the film among the exhibits.
To get you in the Christmas spirit we’re bringing two beloved festive classics to the Museum this December, starting with Will Ferrell’s infectiously cheery outing as Buddy in Elf! It’s a perfect way to prepare for the festive weekend if, like us, it’s not truly Christmas until you’ve seen this film again…
PLEASE NOTE: there are two screenings of Elf at the Museum this December; this is the 21st December screening. The earlier screening on 19th December can be booked here.
About The Film
2003 | PG | 94 mins
Buddy has always struggled to fit in with the other elves at Santa’s Workshop, mainly due to his height. When he learns the truth, that he is a human, he leaves the North Pole in search of his real family – but can he prevent his biological father from ending up on Santa’s naughty list?
About The Location
Located at the top of Park Street, Bristol Museum and Art Gallery is a truly stunning space. Since opening in 1871, the Museum has been the home of a range of fascinating exhibits, including, the Bristol dinosaur, the Bristol Boxkite - which can be found in the Museum’s impressive entrance hall - and Banksy’s ‘paint-pot angel’.
The Museum is of Edwardian Baroque architecture and has been designated as a Grade II listed building. Throughout the year, Bristol Museums runs a series of temporary exhibits, events and activities, details of which can be found on their website.
