Family favourite the Yulefest Movie Night is back for 2024. Come enjoy classic Christmas movie ‘How The Grinch stole Christmas’ on the outdoor big screen on Thursday 12th December in Kilkenny City.

“The Grinch is a bad tempered hairy green creature, who lives inside a cave atop Mount Crumpit, overlooking the village of Whoville. As the Whos of Whoville frantically prepare for their yuletide celebrations, The Grinch decides to put a stop to Christmas once and for all, and steals all their presents and decorations on Christmas Eve… only to finally come to learn that the true spirit of Christmas goes much deeper than tinsel and toys. The hilarious Jim Carrey spectacularly brings The Grinch to life in this magical live-action comedy which is based on the wonderfully quirky and well-loved book “Dr Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas”.”
