Cult Screens 2018

Luxury outdoor cinema experience in Oxford Castle Prison Yard and Oxford Museum of Natural History. Classic films, with a glass of bubbly, as the stars come out.
Something of an annual tradition, Cult Screens arrives in Oxford this year with a hit-filled line-up. On the one had you've got the cult horror The Lost Boys (all 80s mullets and vampire silliness). And then on the other is a film like the heart-breaking animation Coco (with a profoundly moving final third). The selection seems to have curated the right mix of modern hits such as The Greatest Showman and Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, with the kind of films that are a mainstay at open-air cinemas across the country, such Jaws, Top Gun and Dirty Dancing. There are some inspired choices too with The Old Prison Exercise Yard in the Oxford Castle Quarter playing host to two of the best prison-centric films (The Shawshank Redemption and Paddington 2).

Cult Screens takes place in the Oxford Castle Quarter in May and September and outside the Natural History and Pitt Rivers Museum in August. At the Oxford Castle there is the option of a deckchair or beanbag, while outside the museum the choice expands to include double beanbags as well as general entry.

A few ground rules worth noting about the screenings are that no under 5s are allowed at events, the screening will go ahead come rain or shine, and while there are supplies available to buy on-site, you can bring your own food and drink.
