If you’re craving a little open-air escapism, consider this your golden ticket: The Galileo Open Air Cinema is back with another week of starlit movie magic — and it’s everything you need to unwind, snack, and soak up summer.
Set in some of the Cape’s most breathtaking venues — from lush botanical gardens to vineyard-draped wine estates — The Galileo serves up far more than films.
We’re talking gourmet food trucks, picnic-style lounging, fairy lights, and feel-good energy that turns a movie night into a full-blown experience. Here’s what’s showing this week, and trust us — the line-up’s as tasty as the eats.
🎬 This Week’s Feature Films:

An inspiring true story about dreams, rockets, and resilience. The perfect midweek boost with a beautiful mountain backdrop.
🕵️♂️ Thursday, 6 Nov – Kingsman: The Secret Service

Stylish, witty, and packed with British spy-action brilliance. Come for the suits, stay for the explosions.
✈️ Friday, 7 Nov – Top Gun (1986)
Venue: Zevenwacht Wine Estate
The original flyboy classic. Romance, rivalry, and that iconic soundtrack — best served with wine and a sunset view.

A whimsical period romance with all the charm and cheek you’d expect from Jane Austen. Grab a glass of bubbly and swoon under the stars.
🍕 What’s On the Menu?
Come hungry. The Galileo is as much about food as it is film, with on-site artisanal vendors serving everything from gourmet burgers and nachos to wood-fired pizza, decadent desserts, and craft beverages.
Bring a blanket, rent a backrest, or go full VIP for the ultimate open-air movie night. Whether you’re on a date, rolling deep with friends, or making it a family outing, it’s an experience that ticks all the boxes: great food, fresh air, and your favourite films.
