Set in the mountains of Colombia, Encanto tells the story of the extraordinary Madrigal family, who live in a magical house where every child has been given a special gift. Every child, that is, except Mirabel.

Packed with brilliant songs, vibrant animation and a heartfelt story about family, belonging and finding your place, Encanto is perfect for a daytime outdoor cinema screening.
