Two more nights of film have been added to Exeter's favourite outdoor cinema event!

Exeter Phoenix's Big Screen In The Park returns to Northernhay Gardens from Monday 6th until Sunday 12th August.

Wes Anderson's offbeat stop-motion feature Isle Of Dogs and the stunningly magical Italian classic Cinema Paradiso are the latest films to be announced, completing this year's line-up of outdoor movie magic.

Joining Cinema Paradiso and Isle Of Dogs, the full line up of films will treat audiences to a week of cult classics and this year's hottest blockbusters. The other film screenings are musical sensation The Greatest Showman, Marvel's Black Panther, Oscar sensation Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, dystopian sci-fi flick Blade Runner: The Final Cut and Tim Burton's darkly sweet fairytale Edward Scissorhands

No outdoor cinema experience would be complete without a good selection of food and drink options. Visitors can expect hotdogs, doughnuts, food stalls and a fully licensed bar on site. Or, if you fancy something even more special, you can pre-book a specially prepared picnic for two with your choice of a soft drink or a bottle of wine.

Tickets cost £6 in advance or £7 on the gate and can be purchased from bigscreeninthepark.co.uk or by calling Exeter Phoenix's box office on 01392 667080. Gates and bars will open from 7pm with films starting around 9pm.

Big Screen In The Park is made possible thanks to support from Princesshay Exeter, Exeter BID and St Austell Brewery.
