Where Is It?
The cinema will pop up next to the North Car Park at Braintree Village, the same location as the festive ice rink and the Easter circus. It’s a well-loved space that’s hosted plenty of seasonal fun—and now it’s transforming again for a long weekend of big screen joy.

“We’re really excited to welcome back the wonderful Outdoor Cinema for the late May Bank Holiday weekend, after such a successful debut last summer. It’s a fantastic experience for guests, whether they’re visiting especially for the cinema, or as part of a full day out here at Braintree Village.”
