Curious Cinema will present 2000 blockbuster How the Grinch Stole Christmas at St Martins at Palace Plain in Tombland, which will see a forest created inside the church from Friday, November 29 to Saturday, November 30.
The venue will be transformed into Whoville where the film is set and will be a winter wonderland, with seasonal plants supplied by Urban Jungle plant nursery and cafe which has branches in Costessey and Beccles.
There will also be candy canes, cocktails, mocktails and street food to enjoy and all refreshments can be taken to your seats.
The classic film is based on Dr Seuss' 1957 children's story, which stars Jim Carrey as green creature The Grinch who hates Christmas and lives on the top of the mountain to escape the festivities.

Daisy Bonham, Head of Events at Curious Club, said: "We are excited to bring something different to Norwich in the form of a fully immersive cinema, where the focus is as much about the styling aspect, transforming an already interesting church venue into an inside forest venue."
