Applications are open to every primary school in the UK, and the winning school will get to see how a professional film crew operates before enjoying red carpet treatment at one of the national cinema chain’s sites in December.

Whether it’s a classic Nativity performance, A Christmas Carol or something more contemporary, Showcase Cinemas wants to give local primary school children, their parents and teachers a money-can’t-buy festive treat.

To apply for this opportunity, Showcase Cinemas is asking primary schools to sum up in 50 words or less why their school should be chosen to steal the show this Christmas.

On giving a primary school the blockbuster Hollywood treatment, Mark Barlow UK General Manager for Showcase Cinemas said: “Nothing gets you excited for Christmas quite like a trip to Showcase to watch the latest release.

“This year, we’re delighted to be giving the next generation of acting talent, their parents and teachers the opportunity to watch their own festive performance on the big screen.

“It promises to be a great Christmas for film - with Frozen 2, Jumanji: The Next Level and Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker coming to the big screen - and we know our cast of young talent will steal the show when we film and screen their festive turn later this year!”

Pre-production will take place in October 2019, filming will take place in November 2019, and the premiere event will take place at a Showcase Cinema or Cinema de Lux site in December 2019.
