Christmas at Arnos Vale

We’re returning to Arnos Vale Cemetery, Bristol’s very own necropolis, for a night of festive fun, with a touch of the fantastic… Enter this fascinating space after hours, get a drink from the bar, then make your way to the beautiful Anglican Chapel to take your seat, and enjoy the show in this unique venue. 

To start the screenings, we have Henry Selick’s macabre musical masterpiece The Nightmare Before Christmas, which turns 30 this year. Join Jack Skellington on his misguided quest to replace ‘Sandy Claws’ and become the leader of Christmas Town for one night to remember…!

Our second screening of the evening is Christmas-themed crime caper, and firm festive favourite, Home Alone. Join Kevin McAllister for his one-child showdown with the Wet Bandits, featuring an increasingly wince-inducing series of booby traps…

The night concludes with the acclaimed cult romantic fantasy Edward Scissorhands. Tim Burton’s most personal work, it helped cement his reputation as a major director, and inspired at least a million Goths according to the last census.
