Free festive pop-up cinema coming to the Chantry Centre
A fabulously festive free pop-up cinema is coming to the Chantry Centre in Andover this December, with popcorn and silver screen favourites galore!
Organised by Test Valley Borough Council, the screenings will take place between 6 to 8 December in the former O2 unit, which is located next to Andover library.
On Friday 6, audiences can settle down to the classic ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ at 11am. On Saturday 7, families will be delighted by ‘The Polar Express’ at 10am and 1pm, then on Sunday 8, ‘The Grinch’ will be screened at 10am and 1pm.
Tickets to all showings are free and there is no need to book, although spaces will be limited.
There will be free drinks and popcorn available for audiences to enjoy every day and on the Saturday and Sunday children can take part in festive craft activities.
Alongside the film showings there will be more festive treats taking place in the town centre that weekend. On Saturday 7, families can head to the Chantry Centre Christmas Grotto to meet Father Christmas and start their shopping at the indoor market.
On Sunday 8, Andover’s modern market, Second Sundays, will be popping up in the High Street with a host of artisan traders, street food, live music from Test Valley and Andover brass bands and Sing for Fun Choir, and a free creative workshop.
Leader of the council, Cllr Phil North said: “This is the first time we’ve organised a pop-up cinema in the Chantry Centre and I hope families will get into the festive spirit and head to the centre of town to make the most of the films and refreshments on offer.
“We’ve got some great markets taking place on the same weekend, offering an opportunity to support local businesses and find some unique Christmas gifts.”
