See the iconic Tim Burton movie outside on the big screen this Halloween!

Do something different this Halloween at Hartlebury Castle! Dress to scare in your best costume and experience the fantastic story of The Nightmare Before Christmas with friends and family. Take your photo in the Halloween scenes, enjoy the pumpkin decorated ‘Christmas’ trees and you may even come across a few extra treats along the way. Wrap up warm, buy a drink from the bar and settle in to watch Jack Skellington, the Pumpkin king, as he attempts to host Christmas…

Running time: 1 hour 15 minutes. Certificate PG. 1993 family/musical.

The film follows the misadventures of Jack Skellington, Halloweentown’s beloved Pumpkin King, who has become bored with the same annual routine of frightening people in the ‘real world.’ When Jack accidentally stumbles on Christmastown, all bright colors and warm spirits, he gets a new lease on life – he plots to bring Christmas under his control by kidnapping Santa Claus and taking over the role. But Jack soon discovers even the best-laid plans of mice and skeleton men can go seriously awry.

We’re also showing Hocus Pocus at 5pm!
