CINEMA PANTO TO HIT SCREENS THIS WEEKEND AROUND CORK

The CBeebies Christmas Show: Hansel and Gretel to show at Gate Cinemas

The Gate Cinemas in Cork City, Mallow and Midleton will show its Christmas panto this weekend. The CBeebies Christmas Show: Hansel and Gretel will be playing on Saturday 7th and Sun 8th December at The Gate Cinemas in Cork City, Midleton and Mallow at 11.30am and 2pm. 

Jordan Daly, Marketing Manager with the Gate Cinema in Cork said: “We are very excited to bring this panto to Cork audiences. This holiday season, people around Cork can laugh and sing along with their favourite CBeebies stars and be part of a fabulous interactive show for all the family. 

This year’s highly anticipated CBeebies Christmas Show is once again coming to the big screen from the theatre stage for a family-friendly feast of Christmas fun, including interactive content exclusively created for cinemas alongside the Hansel & Gretel stage performance recorded at Edinburgh Festival theatre.”

The show is an adaptation of fairy-tale classic Hansel and Gretel and will feature many of CBeebies’ most popular talent, including, for the first time – Waffle the Wonder Dog. Audiences will also get a chance to see exclusive, additional content specially-made for the cinema.

This 2019 cinema-goers are set to be taken on a winter adventure through an enchanted forest as the story of Hansel and Gretel unfolds. The siblings must overcome the perils of the deep, dark wood in which they are lost, but with the help of the forest’s magical creatures and by not giving up, the pair prove to their family that the only thing that matters at Christmas is being together.
