Backyard Cinema Reopens 17th May With London’s Biggest Indoor Beach Cinema
BE TRANSPORTED TO MIAMI BEACH OR L.A. NIGHTS AT THE UK’S BIGGEST EVER INDOOR BEACH (THAT’S ALSO A CINEMA…)
The UK’s leading experiential cinema venue Backyard Cinema (BYC) reopens on the 17th May. To ensure that everyone is feeling the summer vibes BYC will transform their home at the iconic Capital Studios into the UK’s biggest ever indoor beach with over 56 tonnes of sand, guaranteeing at least some Brits that summer beach holiday they’ve been waiting for.
BYC’s two immersive destination experiences, Miami Beach and L.A. Nights will cater to all yearning cinemagoers and jetsetters of all ages, giving everyone a chance to dip their toes in the sand and fly to the cinema first class.
Their smash hit sensation Miami Beach will whisk ticket holders away to the sunshine state, where the glamour, art-deco, blue seas and permanent sunshine will roll together to create one blissful moment. You’ll relax amongst the palm trees with BYC’s signature palm tree cocktails from the Flamingo Bar and enjoy all your favourite films including the likes of Grease, Dirty Dancing, MAMMA MIA! The Movie Back to The Future, The Parent Trap, Crazy Rich Asians.
On top of that, Musical May will be coming to town, get up and dance to the likes of Grease, Chicago and Rocketman. BYC will celebrate Pride with an array of films such as Moonlight, Call Me By Your Name and Paris is Burning and for those of you desperate to sing out loud once again, Sing-along Saturday returns, giving cinemagoers the chance to belt out their favourite songs from The Greatest Showman, Rocketman and Pitch Perfect to name a few.
For the first time ever, audiences will be able to board Backyard Airlines and catch the first flight of the summer to sun-kissed Los Angeles with L.A. Nights. See the city skyline whilst sipping cocktails in the luminescent Palm Lounge cocktail bar and experience movie magic from the idyllic surroundings of a beautiful Californian beachscape. With films such The Princess Bride, Jurassic Park, The Bodyguard and Kinky Boots you’ll never want to leave.
On top of all this, BYC are the only immersive cinema to screen new releases, changing the cinema experience forever. Leave your television behind and book tickets to the likes of Wonder Woman 1984, Judas and the Black Messiah, Lin Manuel Miranda’s In the Heights, Top Gun: Maverick, Space Jam: A New Legacy, BAFTA-nominated Minari, Godzilla Vs. Kong, Scoob! and The Witches.
If that wasn’t enough, the yearly sell-out showing of Baz Lurhman’s Romeo & Juliet will once again receive the ultimate BYC treatment at Union Chapel, where audiences will get to delight in the sumptuous live music and setting to go alongside this much-loved film.
In addition to the incredible films, BYC is a hub for friends and family to come together – with a variety of food and drink to whet the appetite it is the only place you need to be this summer. With frozen margaritas for the adults and Slush Puppies for the kids, and, you can spend the whole day at Capital Studios.
Honest Burgers’ test kitchen is located at Capital Studios and they are prepped and ready to unleash specially crafted burgers to get your mouths watering and BYC will launch Backyard. Pizza, lovingly created pizzas inspired by the big screen. Pizza showings include The Full Monty (sausage), the Cast Away (garlic butter prawns & chilli) and of course the Point Break (Hawaiian). Backyard Pizza will make sure that everyone gets a slice of deliciousness and that no-one goes hungry.
This year, Backyard Cinema will host four free ticket screenings to show their gratitude to NHS workers. Shows will include The Greatest Showman, Dirty Dancing, MAMMA MIA! The Movie and Wonder Woman 84. An online ballot which will open on the 9th May and will be drawn 2 weeks later.
So, let Backyard Cinema give you your first-class ticket to summer and transport you away on a sandy adventure of sunshine and fun. It truly is your summer staycation sorted.
