Outdoor cinema returns to Braintree Village

Daytime screenings throughout the weekend include the newly released Wicked and Moana 2 movies along with Barbie, Toy Story, Shrek, and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The four showcase evening movies will be The Greatest Showman, Mamma Mia!, Grease and Dirty Dancing. Gates will open 45 minutes in advance of advertised start times.

The purpose-built Outdoor Cinema will be located adjacent to the North Car Park – where the popular festive ice rink was held for Christmas and Big Kid Circus will be hosted this Easter.

Food will be available to purchase within the cinema as well as throughout the outlet's eateries and brands, however guests can also opt to bring their own snacks and refreshments. Guests are welcome to bring their own deckchairs, cushions, and blankets to enjoy the show*.

Tickets for the Braintree Village Outdoor Cinema are available to book now, priced at just £5 a ticket**, whilst children under one are free at all times. What's more, free tickets will be on offer for carers and some screenings will be available with subtitles.

Josef O'Sullivan, Centre Director of Braintree Village, commented: "We're really excited to welcome back the wonderful Outdoor Cinema for the late May Bank Holiday weekend, after such a successful debut last summer. It's a fantastic experience for guests, whether they're visiting especially for the cinema, or as part of a full day out here at Braintree Village. The cinema is here for a limited time so we recommend guests secure tickets now to avoid disappointment."
