Open Air Cinemas

May 20th, 2010

If the alfresco theatre post wasn’t quite your thing, try these drive in cinemas and open air screens across the UK.

Screenfields, Manchester
This epically good outdoor screen has a ram packed schedule of alfresco films this summer. Screenings are free and you can bring your own picnic rug or hire deckchairs (£2) and picnic blankets (£4) from the venue. If you fancy a film today, Control is being screened, though films are programmed until September 9 and range from Up and Borat to Pretty Woman and Moulin Rouge.

Starlite Urban Drive In, London
The Old Truman Brewery is set to host its first drive in this summer (July 2 and 3), packing the car park with new Volvo cars. Film buffs can expect screenings of Twilight and Grease… all you need to do it switch on the car radio, hail down one of the roller-skating, retro waitresses and sit back with a carton of popcorn. Tickets are £25 and go on sale two weeks before the event.

Hatton, Warwick
This lovely country pub punches well above its weight with crowd-pulling events all year around. The summer sees them set up a big screen in the garden and invite punters to relax with a pint in front of a classic movie. This year, the flicks of choice are Grease and Footloose so be prepared for plenty of sing-a-long fun.

The Trentham Estate, Stoke On Trent
This gorgeous estate – complete with house, gardens, woodland, a monkey forest and even a shopping village – lays on excellent alfresco films come summer. Pitch up with a rug and a picnic in July for Dirty Dancing or The Italian Job, and August for Tim Burton’s Alice In Wonderland.
