Cape Town’s favourite outdoor movie night is making a return! The Galileo Open Air Cinema kicks off its 14th season from 15 October 2025 to 16 May 2026, bringing picnic-perfect evenings, blockbuster favourites, and magical moments under the starry skies.

This summer promises exciting new features alongside the classics fans love. Look out for live sport screenings, dog-friendly shows, themed nights, the indulgent Galileo Royale, and a lineup of spectacular new venues.

Where To Catch The Shows

Screenings will once again light up iconic venues across the Cape.

• Weekdays: Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden
• Fridays: Central Park, Century City & Battery Park, V&A Waterfront
• Saturdays: The Cape Winelands, with estates in Stellenbosch, Paarl, Franschhoek, Wellington, Somerset West and more — think Lourensford, Blaauwklippen, Nederburg, Leopard’s Leap, Allée Bleue, and others.

What’s On The Big Screen

From timeless classics and feel-good rom-coms to Bollywood hits, thrillers, cult favourites, musicals, and golden oldies — the line-up has something for everyone. Whether it’s a romantic date, birthday outing, family night, or even a corporate year-end, The Galileo sets the scene for an unforgettable evening.

Special themed nights like Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Easter add even more magic, with décor, entertainment, games and competitions to keep the whole family entertained.

New This Season

Sports lovers are in for a treat with The Galileo LIVE. Cheer on the Springboks in true outdoor style with lawn games, braais, giveaways, and big screen test matches:

• SA v Argentina — 27 Sept 2025
• SA v Ireland — 22 Nov 2025

For something extra special, the Galileo Royale offers an exclusive VIP touch — no picnic packing needed. Guests enjoy a welcome drink, canapé and gourmet main course for the ultimate night out.

Something For Everyone

The Galileo keeps it accessible with student and pensioner discounts, birthday specials, and VIP upgrades (yes, that includes Chuckles® treats). Pack your own picnic basket or tuck into delicious food from vendors serving burgers, pizza, nachos, wraps, sweet treats, and more — with vegetarian, vegan, and Halaal options available.

As Managing Director Matthew Schulz puts it: “Unforgettable memories are made when we stay in the present and put distractions aside. At The Galileo, the only time you’ll reach for your phone is to capture the magic under the stars.”
