The ever popular Moonlight Flicks season, presented by Storyhouse, gets under way tonight (Tuesday, July 4) with a sell-out screening of the Oscar-winning musical romance La La Land.

Grease, Singin' in the Rain, Hail Caesar!, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them are just some of the other cinematic treats heading our way in the coming weeks.

Some of the screenings are already sold out but there are still many opportunities left to soak up the unique atmosphere at the Roman Gardens so here's everything you need to know about the events.

Getting to the venue:

The Roman Gardens lie in the shadow of the historic City Walls and can be accessed from the entrance in Pepper Street, directly under the Newgate Bridge, a stone's throw away from the Amphitheatre.

Screening times:

These are dictated by the time of year so it is wise to double check the start times either on your tickets or at www.storyhouse.com where you can also see a full list of all the films available. Moonlight Flicks is on every Tuesday–Saturday evening from July 4–August 26, with film times changing over the course of the summer. This is because the film will start once the sun goes down, ensuring it is dark enough for everyone to see the screen.

The start times on the schedule and on your ticket is the earliest possible time the film will start – the latest will be 20 minutes later. The gates to the Roman Gardens will open 45 minutes before the scheduled start time.

Facilities and Photography:

Pizza Express – located just over the road – are kindly allowing Moonlight Flicks customers to use their toilet facilities.

As in a regular cinema, recording of the film is not permitted, but feel free to take pictures of you and your party, and share and tag them on social media using #moonlightflicks.

Food and Drink:

Moonlight Flicks is a great place for an evening picnic and you are welcome to bring whatever food and drink you wish (including alcohol – the venue is fully licensed for this).

As in previous years, Storyhouse have teamed up with Pizza Express who will be on hand to offer a special menu of pizzas, sides and drinks – both soft drinks and alcoholic. Simply place your order when you arrive at the Roman Gardens and your food will be delivered to you. Please note this is a cash only service.

Weather:

Being outside, Moonlight Flicks can be affected by the weather. The advice is to come as prepared as possible: warm jumpers and raincoats.

If there’s some light drizzle which is forecast to pass, the screening will proceed, but torrential or stormy weather may mean Storyhouse have to cancel the screening. If so, your tickets will be exchanged or refunded.
