Pink Flamingo cinema
The Grand Daddy’s Pink Flamingo rooftop cinema officially opened to the public on October 22, 2009. The 35-seater cinema, showcasing contemporary classics, screens films twice a week (Sunday and Thursday at 19h30 and possibly later in midsummer) with an intermission during each screening. The cinema is heated in winter and cooled in summer, making it an experience to enjoy all year round. Guests can book tickets online at http://www.pinkflamingo.co.za or through Web tickets (http://www.webtickets.co.za). All forthcoming movies are listed on the website to facilitate the booking process. Included in the R50 ticket price is a cone of sweets, a welcome drink and a choice between an Eskimo Pie, candy floss or popcorn. A greater splurge of R200 will secure a comfortable front-row couch (for up to three people) with all the goodies above and a selection of cold drinks in a private cooler box.
