Louise Doyle, Station Manager at Belfast Grand Central shared her excitement about the station’s inaugural movie screening, saying: "With even more people making the most of bus and rail travel over the festive period and many travelling through Belfast Grand Central for the first time since it opened, we’re thrilled to bring a little Christmas magic to the station with this screening of Elf.
"It’s a chance for families and friends to come together, enjoy a festive favourite, and support two incredible charities. We can’t wait to welcome everyone and create some festive movie magic!"
The event is held in collaboration with Belfast Film Festival, whose CEO, Michele Devlin highlighted the importance of such initiatives:
"Bringing the magic of film to public spaces is at the heart of what we do.
"Events like this make cinema accessible to everyone while creating memorable community experiences.
"We’re delighted to partner with Translink to bring Elf to life in such a unique setting."
Proceeds from the screening will directly benefit Translink’s Stuff a Bus appeal in aid of FareShare NI and Air Ambulance NI, helping to support those in need during the festive season and beyond.
