CANCELLED - American Express Openair Cinema

Unfortunately this event has been cancelled.

With 29 events happening in the heart of the city, the festival vibes will be in full swing every weekend with an array of alternative entertainment, live music and DJ performances before the latest and greatest feature films light up the big screen. 

Punters have no need to feel lonesome on their night out, as film fanatics and doggy owners are invited to bring their K9 furry friends to any screening.

Flicks

See the website for the full programme, which brings a great selection of recent box office hits and highly anticipated new releases including:

  • The Gentlemen
  • Little Women
  • Birds of Prey 

Oscar winners also make an appearance in the sterling series of films including:

  • Jojo Rabbit
  • 1917  

There is also a special selection of family-friendly titles including:

  • Dolittle
  • Spies in Disguise 
  • Sonic the Hedgehog (28.3). 

Also, on the movie menu is something a little different with this programme highlight from sponsor Kathmandu, Mountainfilm on Tour, an inspiring mix of skiing, rafting, mountaineering, expedition travel, cultural and environmental stories.

Food and drink

Local favourites Bacon Brothers will be bringing their mouth-watering burgers to the event, with a new special every week and no event being complete without an option for those with a sweet tooth, Haagen Dazs will be providing ice cream scoops for film-loving troops.

Refreshments are taken care of thanks to national partners Kaiser Brothers Brewery and Giesen Wines, or try something a little different with Lillet cocktails. 

Relaxed seating options

Everyone can chillax to the max with a variety of seating options available and add a touch of comfort to a night under the stars with a blanket or lounger which can be hired as part of any ticket package.  Premium tickets to the Star Lounge include reserved seating on a comfy bean bag, service straight to your seat and a glass of wine.                                                 

American Express card members will receive a range of exclusive benefits.  See the website for details.
