THREE EXCITING CINEMATIC EXPERIENCES
To celebrate their ninth consecutive season, the Galileo Open Air Cinema has introduced three dazzling concepts and cinematic experiences, namely The Galileo Royale (NEW!), The Galileo Picnic and The Galileo Drive In. This means there is something for everyone to enjoy!
#The Galileo Royale
The Galileo Royale is the Galileo Open Air Cinema’s new and exciting cinematic offering. This brand-new spin-off to the popular Galileo screenings is all about providing guests with an exclusive and intimate VIP themed movie experience. Each Wednesday the team behind Cape Town’s pioneer outdoor cinema will be rolling out the royal purple carpet at some of the most exclusive and exquisite venues across Cape Town, namely Suikerbossie in Hout Bay, Casa Labia in Muizenberg, Steenberg in Tokai and Radisson Blu Hotel Waterfront in Granger Bay.
The Galileo Royale takes this outdoor cinematic experience to a whole new level as guests are invited to lap up the luxury and the royal treatment. Seats and side tables are laid out on the luscious lawns for guests to pick their spot. They will be treated to a complimentary appetizer and a welcome drink for a toast to be enjoyed to a gorgeous sunset and a magical backdrop. The sweet sounds of live music will set the tone and serenade movie-goers as they peruse the menu for a bite to eat. Guests will also receive a complimentary popcorn to snack on as they get ready to watch their favourite stars on the big, outdoor screen.
All of these incredible offerings and lavish touches are included in your ticket price. This unique affair will only cater for a limited number of couples and movie-goers. Pre-booking is essential if you’re looking to enjoy this new bucket-list worthy Galileo experience.
