Paula Hammond - Features EditorThis summer, Pop Up Screens has teamed up with Benadryl to bring Londoners critically acclaimed new releases in even more of the Capital’s most treasured parks. The screenings will run from 20th July to 23rd September.
An absolute essential for the city dweller’s social calendar in the season of romance and warm evenings, Pop Up Screens guarantees a “relaxed atmosphere and friendly vibe”, (TimeOut, 2018) that caters for all ages and tastes. Box office hits new to Pop Up this summer include critically acclaimed superhero flicks Thor: Ragnorok and Wonder Woman, Academy Award winners The Shape of Water, 3 Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri and Get Out alongside new family favourite The Greatest Showman. Those of you who couldn’t possibly last the summer without getting your fix of the classics such as Notting Hill, The Notebook, Dirty Dancing and Grease will not be disappointed.
Pop Up Screens will work its magic in a host of new locations including the beautiful Ruskin Park in Denmark Hill, iconic Guildhall in heart of London, pituresque Canbury Gardens in Kingston and the award-winning, Priory Park in Crouch End. Pop Up Screens founder Dave Leydon said “Pop Up Screens has been popping up around London for 6 years now and every year we try and find some new locations to pop up in and this year isn’t any different as we’re on our way to Kingston, Maida Vale, Denmark Hill and Crouch End for the first time. Outdoor cinema is still something that’s got a certain romance to it that gets lost in the multiplexes, that magic of being outside with a movie you love is pretty hard to beat.”
Tickets will be priced from £7 for a child and adults starting from £12.50.
You’re welcome to bring your own blankets, beanbags and cushions or you can hire a deckchair for £4.
If you feel like styling up your cinema experience, this year Pop Up Screens are introducing VIP seats, for £20 each that will include a chair in a prime location plus a free drink!
Food will be coming direct from Brighton with the Seaside Pizza Co. providing lovely sourdough wood fired pizzas all night long.
