Elf (2003) PG

Witty, silly and full of cheer, who could have predicted Will Ferrell would become such a Christmas star? Please welcome Santa’s biggest helper…

From actor-director Jon Favreau (Iron Man, Swingers, Chef) and probably the best Christmas film of the noughties, Elf is a magical film that everyone can enjoy. Will Ferrell is brilliant as Buddy, the elf who leaves the North Pole in search of his father (James Caan). However, New York is rather different to Santa’s hometown and Buddy faces a few challenges adjusting to his new life. Cue sackfuls of zany comedy and a charming love interest in the form of quirky beauty Zooey Deschanel. 

Come and enjoy the experience at Eccleston Place Courtyard, our brand new Christmas venue, a hidden urban hideaway, which will be transformed for our winter film fest. It will be kitted out with a cosy, heated, weatherproof canopy, under which we’ll be nestling to watch our seasonal cinema gems, curled up in blankets on comfy chairs to keep toasty warm. We'll also be serving up piping hot festive meals, mince pies aplenty, mulled wine and hot chocolate - and we'll be toasting marshmallows as seasonal music drifts through the air...
