Most movie fans will agree that the only thing better than heading to your local picture house for a screening of the latest blockbuster is getting to do this in the rapturous setting of the great outdoors. Just picture it: popcorn in one hand, your favourite drink in the other, a gorgeous sunset framing the big screen in front of you. You really can’t beat it.

Nomad Cinema (Various Locations)
Nomad really are the ones to keep your eyes on this summer, hosting movie screenings in amongst cityscapes, across rolling parkland and even in cemeteries!

And then there is the perfect aesthetically-pleasing view of the deck chairs set in front of the London Skyline, which you can’t put a price on. Apart from the entry fee that is…
Secret Cinema (Various Secret Locations)
Now this one requires some effort but we can wholeheartedly say that Secret Cinema will make it worth your while with their completely immersive cinematic events, set up in secret locations across the capital. The next event is set to be a good one as they’ve let it be known that they’ll be plunging their attendees in to the eerie fictitious world of Hawkins, in between screenings of ‘Stranger Things’.
