Twilight Cinema returns to Castle Cornet

Friday 26 July 2024

24 films will be shown on a big outdoor screen when Castle Cornet hosts the 'Twilight Cinema' again.

The previously popular event wasn't held last year because of a clash with the Island Games, but it's back this year between 5 and 16 August.

The film calendar includes a different family-friendly movie screened every day at 17:00, followed by a film aimed at an older audience from 19:00.

They'll each be screened on the top lawn at Castle Cornet.

Helen Glencross, Head of Heritage Services said its a great use for the historic site, while also offering entertainment for the whole family.

"We are delighted that the incredibly popular Twilight Cinema is back for 2024," she said.

"A wide range of films have been chosen, so there is something for everyone. We hope lots of people will come and enjoy their favourite films in this beautiful and unique setting with their family and friends." 

There are 120 tickets available per film, which must be purchased in advance. 

Tickets are priced at £6 per film and are on sale online at guernseytickets.gg. Children under 16 must be accompanied by an adult.

Ticket holders are advised to bring rugs to sit on, as well as plenty of warm clothing for the later showings. People can also bring picnics.

Chairs can be brought into the Castle, but users will be asked to sit at the back of the lawn to ensure everyone has a good view.

In the event of bad weather, screenings will be relocated to Beau Cinema’s normal home in the Beau Sejour theatre (with the exception of Tuesday 6 August which, in the event of adverse weather, will be refunded).
