Our Outdoor Cinemas at Gloucester have always been exciting because the crowd at Hempsted Meadows where we hold the events are so wild and crazy. This year was no different. On the Open Air Cinema this weekend was Mamma Mia on the Saturday and Preeeeeettyy Woman for the Friday. The Friday night was over cast and said chance of light rain. Which is acceptable for the typical British weather......BUT.......What happened next. We were shocked. Around the film start time the ligh

Open Air Film and Chill is a go and we have started off the season with some fully booked gigs. The weather at this time of the year is normally touch and go but the Open Air Cinema in Birmingham, the weather was amazing. Top Gun and Grease was on the big screen and for the 1st time visiting this city, the crowd loved it. Eating a picnic under the stars on a hot day was just amazing said one person. Another person said "Truly different type of atmosphere, if your creating a b

Have you ever seen advertised “Open Air Cinema screening Grease” for example and thought to yourself, What is an Open Air Cinema. Look no further, I’m going to explain what it is having set up my business called Open Air Film and Chill. Picture this, your at your local odeon Cinema settling down to watch the latest box office smash when suddenly the roof disappears all you can see is the stars and the moon. There my friends is your Open Air Cinema. Ok, I’m joking. However tha

Firstly, when we approach venues to hire out their land for to setup our Outdoor Cinema Experience. We’ve found that people instantly think......event means trouble. We are going to write this blog to direct potential venues here to read this. Ive found for whatever reason, We ring and email so many premises and they don’t reply or we speak to them on the phone and as its committee ran. Everyone has to do a whole load of talking to each other about events and nothing gets org

Its the season to be Jolly la la la ..... or a film fanatic. I am always getting excited about our Christmas Open Air Cinema. As we haven't put on a show since the summer we thought we should do a special Christmas showing, which the whole team were extremely excited about - I mean who doesn't love Christmas. The choice of film was easy....Home Alone - literally the best Christmas film out there. But where to have the event was the next question? You couldn't get better than

Our Halloween Open Air Cinema this year we've decided to go for the cult classic "The Rocky Horror Show". We got asked so many times at our Outdoor Cinema Hires to play this on the big screen in the summer months. Although we felt this was a good film and has its own cult following, We chose to play the more popular choices like Grease, Top Gun etc just because it was our first year of Open Air Cinemas. Who knows? You might just see this appear this coming summer 2017. Back t

Finally, the People of Gloucester get their rescheduled screening of Top Gun on our Open Air Cinema. Due to the horrible weather on the 3rd September Open Air Film and Chill Management decided the best course of action would be to reschedule the screening. Was it the right call? The organiser (Mo) got festival goers to Snapchat pictures of Gloucester to him that night and after so many pics got sent, he defiantly feels that was the right call. Who would of wanted to sit in th

The week running up to this event, the weather seemed fine BUT what happened towards late evening on Thursday & Friday we got the tail end of a summer storm that hit Florida. Now in this Game NO ONE wants to cancel an event, we've all booked time off work to come make an evening of it. In this case to see a little bit of maverick say some awesome lines like "you can be my wing man" under the stars. However on the day of the event i waited until 12pm to make a decision, and wi

Our last Summer Screening for Hereford this year ended with Dirty Dancing. We've had a great summer of screenings at Colcombe House. We can't thank Kier Rogers enough for letting us use his land to host this event. The event itself was tough conditions for the big screen. There was a mini storm coming across the UK which brought high winds and rains. The rain only came for 10 mins on and off, the wind which was meant to get lighter never seem to give up - so a few more anchor

Last Open Air Cinema for Devon this season for Open Air Film and Chill ending with the musical Grease. As this is still our first couple of events down here the strong crowd showed that the outdoor cinema experience is still growing in this part of the UK. The weather on the day was peeeeeerfect - no clouds, did turn into a chilly summers evening but all in attendance LOVED and danced the last scene away. #Grease #Okehampton #OpenAirFilmChill #OpenAirCinema

Considering the competition in shrewsbury for outdoor screenings, we did well to have a a good crowd. The summer of 2016 hasn't been a good one so far so we were very lucky to get a lovely sunny day that turned into a very very grey evening. But the rain held off and Grease went down a storm (without the storm) massive thanks to Ted at Shrewsbury college for allowing to come and host our event there. We will be coming back here next year for certain. #Shrewsbury #OpenAirCine

Its the weekend again and this week we are in Okehampton, Devon. We are down here for both nights Friday & Saturday. So Friday we leave our home town at 1:30pm (3 hours travelling) plenty of time to set up. Event starts at 7pm .... We didnt anticipate an accident on the M-way and arriving on site at 6:10pm. We rushed around like anything to get set up only to be told be the food vendor they had cancelled on us. It felt like the whole world was against us BUT we stuck in, we u

Another town, Another city.... and it's light rain on the cards. Well we are getting used to it now so wet gear at the ready and we are off for a double bill. Top Gun Friday 10th June and Dirty Dancing Saturday 11th June and straight away to see nearly everyone at the event dance to the last 10 mins of Dirty Dancing was just something i'll treasure for ever. It was just breath taking, such an enjoyable event. It was light rain at the start but by the time the film started it

3rd Weekend in a row now, weather is looking great. Everything about this event was perfect, APART from the council who only ok'ed the license the day before the showing due to Bad Boys being an 18 certificate. The venue Hempstead Meadows was a perfect location, had easy parking and was east to get to but most importantly there wasn't any houses close by. On both nights the weather was amazing and the crowd singing Grease all the way through was just awesome. So much good fee

After last weeks wet start we were checking the weather all week and it looked fine all week and then came the event day. The weather turned for the worst that morning it rained like it hadn't rained for months. Then a couple of hours before the event was planned to start the sun came out and reached temps of 22 degrees. WE WERE ON!! We set up, the campers started arriving and it turned out to be a great evening with a near full house. The Hereford venue is epic as its an Ope

We have officially started our Open Air Cinema season in Worcester, we were so excited! We had everything planned and prepped for months and then the heavens opened. Rain isn't a problem at events it is if it's constant heavy rain. We arrived at Ombersley CC and the committee had doubts about the event to go ahead. After heated discussions they changed the location from their cricket pitch to their car park-and it was on. We knew from the weather radar app and it was going to
