What caught our eye:
🎃 Coco on Fri 30 Oct at Kirstenbosch. It’s a special Kids Halloween Show, so costumes are basically mandatory.
🎄 December is stacked with 14 shows. The Grinch, Elf, E.T., and yes, there’s a Home Alone Christmas Eve show AND a Klaus show on Christmas Day.
🐰 Hop on Easter Friday and Peter Rabbit on Easter Sunday. Easter weekend sorted!
🤖 The Wild Robot on 23 Apr wraps up the schedule so far.

You’ll find them at Kirstenbosch, a few w**e estates and city spots like Century City and Battery Park at the V&A Waterfront. Honestly, a movie under the stars beats any screen at home.
