This week, The Galileo Open Air Cinema brings a lineup of crowd-pleasing films to some of Cape Town’s most scenic spots, offering the perfect excuse to swap the couch for a picnic blanket.
Guests are encouraged to arrive early — doors open at 6 PM (5 PM on Saturday) — to enjoy golden-hour picnics before the movie starts at around 7:30 PM.
Tickets start from R150, including entry and a free backrest, making it an accessible and memorable night out.
- The week kicks off on Tuesday, 17 March with Leap Year at Kirstenbosch Garden, a light-hearted romance that pairs perfectly with a St Patrick’s Day setting.
- On Wednesday, the mood shifts to comedy with The Hangover, also at Kirstenbosch, delivering big laughs under the stars.
- By Thursday, 19 March, the setting moves to Battery Park at the V&A Waterfront for Call Me by Your Name, a beautifully told summer romance best enjoyed in an open-air atmosphere.
- Friday brings the energy with The Greatest Showman at Central Park, Century City — a vibrant, feel-good musical that invites guests to sing along and soak up the spectacle.
- The week wraps up on Saturday, 21 March at Leopard’s Leap in Franschhoek with Mamma Mia!, a fan favourite filled with ABBA hits, sunshine vibes and easygoing fun.
