Going to the movies has evolved a lot since the ‘bioscope’ era. It no longer has the ‘night out’ feel. Popcorn queues are long, tickets are often sold out and Tuesday nights are crawling with high-schoolers. However The Pink Flamingo, situated on Long Street, Cape Town is bringing back some of the silver screen magic.

The Pink Flamingo screens movies every Sunday and Thursday at 7.30pm on the roof of the Grand Daddy Hotel. Movies screened are a mix of cult classics and family favourites.

Pink Flamingo II is situated on the 1st floor of the New Space Theater at 44 Long Street and will focus mainly on Art / Cult movies with two screenings a month.

Regular tickets are R50 each and include a welcome drink, a choice of popcorn or ice cream as well as an old-fashioned candy cone.

VIP Tickets are R200 and can seat 2 to 3 people on a comfy leather couch. The price includes a retro cooler box of iced drinks and a choice of popcorn, ice cream or candy floss – as well as an old-fashioned candy cone. There are only 2 VIP couches per show so early booking is essential!

You can arrive early to secure a front row seat and a refreshing drink at the sky bar before settling down to enjoy classics such as Bullit, A fish called Wanda and Boogie Nights.

All tickets must be booked and paid for in advance through webtickets. Tickets will not be available for purchase on the night.
