Merry Christmas ya filthy animals!
Join us for the ultimate Christmas comedy as we watch Kevin McCallister outsmart the Wet Bandits on the big screen. This festive classic was a complete sell-out when we showed it in 2023, so don't wait too long to grab your tickets!

Come and see Buddy the Elf spread Christmas cheer across our giant screen! Will Ferrell's enthusiasm and childlike wonder will have you believing in the magic of Christmas all over again.

Every seat on floor level and the first row on our seating rake is accessible to those who require a wheelchair space, an ambulant seat, or those who don’t have any access requirements. Thus, they will be bookable under the same ticket type and unreserved. When buying your tickets, we ask you to declare if you have any access requirements at the checkout so we can reserve any seats or space for those who need them.

​
​Your journey and parking
Gosforth Civic Theatre is right next to (literally 2 minutes walk from) Regent Centre Metro Station and Bus Interchange, which means we're on a host of major transport links including Tyne & Wear Metro, Arriva, Stagecoach and Go North East bus services and via car from Great North Road. Please visit our YOUR VISIT section of our website to find directions and the best way to arrive at GCT.
​
We have a small, free car park but this will be very busy and part reserved for artists and staff, so it's best to avoid planning on parking directly at the venue. Please keep this in mind if you're driving over; we detail alternative parking on our YOUR VISIT page so check it out!
