FOLLOWING the launch of Christmas in Poole, the town’s Business Improvement District is hosting a series of festive movie nights to accompany late night shopping.

The big screen is located outside in the Sainsbury’s plaza, with hot drinks and snacks available to purchase during the film nights.

Justin Hundley-Appleton, Poole BID manager, said: “We’ve got a great line-up of family favourites for the rest of the month. It was great to see people turn out to our first night of showings and taking a break from their Christmas shopping – despite the rain we managed to go ahead with both showings.”

Booking for the outdoor screen is not required; however, space is available on a first come, first served basis.

Showings are as follows:

• Nativity!, Thursday, December 13, 5.30pm

• Santa Claus: The Movie, Thursday, December 13, 7.30pm

• The Polar Express, Thursday, December 20, 5.30pm

• Happy Feet, Thursday, December 20, 7.30pm
