The big screen will return to the train station at CB1, Station Road (next to the Clayton Hotel) and for the first time we are proud to partner with the University of Cambridge at its Downing Site, so that audiences can relax and enjoy this enclosed oasis in the city centre.
Both locations will be transformed into open-air cinemas, complete with giant screens and a welcoming summer atmosphere. Visitors are encouraged to bring along picnic blankets and deck chairs, then make the most of Cambridge’s fantastic city centre food and drink offering by picking up snacks, treats or a takeaway from local cafés, restaurants and retailers before settling in with friends and family to enjoy a day of entertainment in the open air. Seating will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
All screenings are free to attend; however advance booking is required due to anticipated demand.
Films include Back to the Future, How to Train Your Dragon, The Smeds and the Smoos, Matilda, Zog and many many more.
