The Low Down

Some of you may already be Silent Summer Screeners (welcome back, we’ve missed you!) To those of you who are new here… you are in for a real treat.

Join us for a magical evening under the stars with live music, great food (perhaps a cheeky drink..) and an amazing movie.

But that’s not all! We do things a little differently around here…

We use wireless headphones for the event’s sound! We’re simultaneously celebrating the great outdoors and creating a cosy and immersive experience… How cool is that? PLUS, making this a silent screening allows us to put these events on in your community without disturbing the local residents and wildlife. Everyone wins!

What to expect

We set up our events in communities that we truly care about and putting on these events allows us to celebrate them and their beautiful local green spaces.

Events begin at check-in where you’ll show your tickets and collect your headphones. Here you can also stock up on a variety of snacks and drinks. Fancy something a bit more substantial? We got you. We’ve got the finest local caterers joining us all evening to satisfy your appetite.

Next, head over to your chosen spot and set up camp. You can bring anything you like to sit on – blankets, chairs, cushions … heck we’ve even had people bring a sofa! We don’t mind, as long as you leave the area as beautiful as you found it. You can also bring tents and small gazebos if you’re worried about the weather, just make sure they’re tied down securely and not blocking anyone’s view. Our lovely stewards are walking around to make sure everyone has a good spot.

While the sun makes its way to the horizon, you’ll be treated to an incredible performance by one of our amazing Silent Summer Screenings musicians. Be sure to keep an eye on your emails to see who’s performing on the night!

Then finally, darkness descends and we’re ready to delve into the movie, all quiet and all together.

We can’t wait to spend the summer with you ♥️
