A historic former church will play host for a weekend jam-packed with classic Christmas films next week.

Stanbrook Abbey Hotel will transform Callow Great Hall into a festive cinema on December 21 and 22.

The venue, the former church of the 18th century Stanbrook Abbey, will screen films such as Nativity, The Holiday, Frozen and Elf in high definition.

The event, organised by the Alfresco Film Company, offers visitors the chance to tour the ancient corridors, once a nunnery, and enjoy festive treats before the film begins.

The company’s Andrew Mitchell-Stead said: "We’re excited to be returning to Worcester and bringing this unique event back to such a stunning location.

"It’s become a bit of a Christmas tradition to visit Stanbrook Abbey Hotel just before the big day."

Tickets, now available at www.alfrescofilm.co.uk, are priced at £14 for adults and £10 for children.
