As we approach March 2021, Covid numbers are stable in South Africa and we hope that it stays that way. Never mind the numbers and lockdown levels, it is prudent to take precautions at all times. Outdoor leisure and entertainment options are as about as safe as one can get during these tenuous times. During lockdown, The Galileo Open Air Cinema introduced a drive-in option which has been a hit with patrons – for obvious reasons. It is a fun take on the retro drive-in experience – with contemporary technology and is a buffer to a degree, against the vagaries of Cape Town weather (wind and storms may cancel events). The draw-card is of course that each vehicle is a mini-cinema and the occupants are safe in that bubble. In line with Covid safety protocols, The Galileo Royale is set up with socially/physically distanced seating and includes an hour of live music, eats and signature Galileo comfort accessories – backrests and blankets. The Galileo also has a range of rental options. Host your own open-air cinema or drive in. The Galileo is available for hire. A Galileo bespoke set-up is an ideal Covid friendly solution for pandemic times- great idea for a birthday part of other celebration. The March 2021 programme, includes- Wavescape Film Festival (March 5), Dirty Dancing, Notting Hill and Mamma Mia.

COVID-FRIENDLY MOVIE MAGIC AT THE GALILEO

___________________________________________________________________________

The Galileo is synonymous with summertime happiness in the Mother City, bringing movie magic to majestic venues, paired with delicious food and impeccable views. Due to Covid and government regulations, their beloved Picnic screenings have been suspended until further notice, but fear not, The Galileo has safe and fun alternatives for you to still enjoy a unique movie experience.

The Galileo Royale is the brand-new spin-off to the popular Galileo screenings and takes place every Wednesday until the end of April. Lap up luxury and the royal treatment with a one-hour live music performance, movie under the stars, backrest, blanket, welcome drink, appetiser and popcorn – all included in your ticket price. This intimate affair will only cater for a limited number of movie-goers so pre-booking is essential. The spectacular string of venues includes The Cellars-Hohenort Hotel, Suikerbossie, Casa Labia and Radisson Blu Hotel Waterfront. If you were a fan of their Picnic screenings then this will certainly be your new go-to.

The Galileo Drive In continues each week from Friday to Sunday with a range of blockbuster hits and family favourites. Park backwards and cuddle up with your loved ones and pillows and blankets in the boot. Pre-order a selection of goodies with your tickets or bring along your favourite snacks for a nostalgic night out.
