The Big Screen on the Green: outdoor cinema
The Big Screen on the Green is back!
Summer has arrived and we are bringing together our community to watch a programme of films for all ages and The Wimbledon Tennis Championships on a 3.5×5 metre big screen on the Green at the heart of the Cambridge Biomedical Campus between Monday 29th June and Sunday 12th July.
Funded by Cambridge Biomedical Campus Limited, we’re showing a variety of films for all ages from Thursday to Sunday each week, alongside live Wimbledon coverage. In between Wimbledon and films, we’ll also be sharing short films from across our Campus community, all completely free and open to everyone!
This summer, we’re also adding:
- Friday 3 and Saturday 4 July: Bar and ice-cream van on site—grab drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and snacks including popcorn. You are still welcome to bring your own.
- Saturday 4 July: A Comic Art Draw-a-long session with a professional artist, inspired by the film Dogman. Get creative and have fun! Book here
See our full programme below. You can use the links to register in advance, which will help us understand capacity, or just drop by on the day.
