A SPECIAL five-day movie event will be taking place in Manchester to celebrate Valentine’s Day.

Tickets for six Hollywood blockbuster films have now go on sale ahead of the most romantic day of the year.

The event will be staged in the transformed surroundings of Mayfield Depot near Manchester Piccadilly, running from February 13 through to February 17.

The film festival is being organised by the team responsible for the hugely successful Magical Christmas Movie Experience, which took place in the same venue in December.

Film fans will be treated to a programme featuring some of the best love stories ever portrayed on the silver screen.

The showstoppers being screened include Titanic, Pretty Woman, Beauty & The Beast, Notting Hill and a Beauty & The Beast Singalong screening.

A double bill on Valentine’s Day itself will feature The Bodyguard with Kevin Costner and Whitney Houston at 6.30pm, followed by Dirty Dancing starring Patrick Swayze at 9.30pm.

Upon arrival, filmgoers will make their way through a secret doorway where they’ll be greeted by a live choir, before strolling through a twinkling snowy forest before taking their seats in the pop-up cinema.

Fans of Dirty Dancing can also look forward to an extra special treat with live dancers performing during each screening of the smash-hit film.

Steven Matthews, organiser of The Valentine’s Movie Experience, commented: “February is fast approaching with that all-important date to celebrate love on 14 February – so make a date and get all romantic and snuggly with your ‘one’ at The Valentine’s Movie Experience, or come with friends to enjoy the fun.

“We have a wonderful programme of films bursting with love for this special celebration, and fans of Dirty Dancing can look forward to an extra treat when the dance moves are brought to life in front of their very own eyes. Love is most definitely in the air in Manchester.”
