In the past couple of years, one of our favourite growing little happenings is Dave Leyton’s Pop Up Screens that’s been gradually taking over various locations in London – all for the brilliant purpose of outdoor summer screenings of great films.
This year, they’ve announced another run of movies that include JUNO, FIGHT CLUB, DIRTY DANCING, GHOSTBUSTERS, MEAN GIRLS, ANCHORMAN to just name a selection of the classic films showing in the idyllic hazy setting of your nearest London park. In fact, this year Pop Up Screens have added more dates than ever (30 to be exact!) to satisfy every film buffs thirst for cult classics. Throughout the summer, the super-size screen will visit some of the capitals best-loved parks, including Fulham, Shepherd’s Bush and Morden, with screenings kicking off around 8.30pm.
Tickets can be purchased in advance at www.popupscreens.co.uk for £8, or a weekender pass to see all three films at any one location will set you back just £20, with a bumper Season Ticket available for only £60- that’s all 30 films for just £2 a movie!
In terms of tasty treats Pop Up Screens have it covered. There will of course be popcorn, supplied by Drum and Kernel Popcorn, a fully stocked bar and some of the capitals best street food with the likes of Dosa Deli Indian Wraps, Van Dough Pizzas and Phileas Hog Hog Roast. TASTY, we promise you! Pop Up Screens founder David Leydon had this to say, then scroll down for the full list:
“Last summer was amazing and we had nothing but fantastic comments from everyone that came to see a movie with us, so we’re coming back again and stepping it up a gear by returning with 30 movies in some of the most beautiful parks in London. The idea of coming back is very exciting and we’ve had a lot of fun putting the movie list together so there should be something for everyone”
