Black Friday deals usually mean frantic queues and overstuffed shopping bags, but The Galileo Open Air Cinema has swooped in with a far more delightful way to spend the season.
Instead of racing through aisles, guests can stretch out under the stars, wrapped in a blanket, with good food in hand and a blockbuster lighting up the night sky.
From 19 November to 13 December, The Galileo is offering R25 off its Warm & Comfy Ticket – the favourite option among fans who like settling in with a backrest and blanket already sorted.
- It’s the ultimate set-up for a cosy evening outdoors, where comfy movie-watching meets picnic-style snacking and that unmistakable Cape Town summer atmosphere. The Galileo has always been about more than the film itself. The lawns fill with friends sharing pizza slices, families unpacking picnic baskets, and couples claiming the perfect spot as golden hour melts into evening. Food trucks and artisanal stalls pop up with everything from wood-fired flavours to sweet treats, turning the whole event into a laid-back food adventure with a movie attached.
The Black Friday special means movie lovers can catch everything from heartwarmers to classics to laugh-out-loud favourites — all with the luxury of showing up, settling in and being comfy from the first scene to the final credits. With limited discounted tickets per show, the early birds get the best blankets.
It’s the kind of Black Friday deal that trades chaos for charm, shopping bags for snacks, and fluorescent mall lights for starlit skies. And honestly? That feels like a win. Black Friday discount excludes the Rugby screening on 22 November and the Royale on 27 November. Full details at thegalileo.co.za.
