Now in its third year, our open-air, undercover garden cinema event returns — bigger and better than ever!
Taking place in the beautiful Mall Gardens in the heart of Clifton Village, this is outdoor cinema with a twist. Relax in the Central Arena before the film, with drinks, art displays, tastings and local food vendors, then make your way into one our two cinema spaces for the main event. With covered seating, a state-of-the-art LED screen and wireless headphones, enjoy your film come rain or shine - it's a Summer experience that’s not to be missed.
What better film to start off the weekend in our main cinema space, the Lexus Pavilion, than the coming-of-age musical rom-com? That’s right – Grease is the word on Friday 4th July! With its Oscar-nominated soundtrack and unforgettable lovebirds Sandy and Danny, it’s the perfect way to toast the end of summer nights – bonus points for donning your best Pink Ladies or T-Birds garb (we know some of you have been waiting for an excuse)…
