The best places to see starlit movies this summer
What could be better on a balmy summer’s night that settling down for a movie under the stars? Rugged up in a deckchair or stretched out on a picnic blanket, there’s little better than an evening of starlit cinema for a few hours of pure al fresco escapism. Cleverly, the people who organise outdoor cinema know this and augment the fun with all sorts of perks and possibilities: sophisticated cocktails, tasty snacks and even full-blown meals are now part and parcel of the outdoor cinema experience.
The UK has an ever-increasing array of them to pick from – depending on where in the country you live. London, of course, is well catered for, but thanks the like of Luna Cinema and Adventure Cinema, it’s a countrywide phenomenon these days, often taking in the most spectacular locations. Pack a picnic and head for one of these.

Pop Up Screens’ pop-up screens are mostly a London-centric deal, with venues all across the capital this summer. But the fun-loving outdoor cinema types are taking ‘The Greatest Showman’, ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ and ‘Encanto’ on the road to Campbell Park Amphitheatre, Milton Keynes in September. There’s a bar and concessions at each screening but seating is of the ‘on the grass’ variety, so bring cushions and a rug for a comfier viewing experience.
Tickets: £12.90
