MediaCity’s popular open-air screen, returns to the Waterside Steps this summer offering something for all ages.
The free open-air screen will be showing everything from classic films such as Dirty Dancing and Forrest Gump, through to family favourites such as Wicked and Moana 2, plus popular sports such as the Women’s Euros.
Visitors can also enjoy weekly podcast episodes from the ‘This is MediaCity’ podcast on the big screen.
The Screen will be operating from now until the end of September, with slots for family films such as Coco, Finding Nemo, and The Lego Movie on weekdays from 11am, as well as afternoon screenings of cult favourite films such as Mean Girls, Mamma Mia, and The Hunger Games.
Sports fans can also catch the Women’s Euro Semi Finals on the 22, 23 and 27 July.
And with school holidays approaching, the Screen on the Docks will be the perfect destination for families to enjoy a free cinema-screening by the water, whilst keeping children entertained – the full scheduled can be found here.
Guests of the open-air cinema will also be greeted by the beautiful new planters, luscious greenery, colourful seating, and deckchairs that have been added for the summer.
In addition, new for this year will also be the beautiful art installation ‘Of Dreaming’ by Salford artists Mike and Sian, a bold three-dimensional piece which has been inspired by the hopes and dreams of young people in the city.
The artwork is the duo’s largest scale art instillation to date and has been designed as a physical platform to capture and embody those hopes and dreams for the future through colour, form, and shape.
As well as that Kargo on the Docks has returned with a fresh wave of local food partners including Afro Shack, Wok Bros, Sunrise Caribbean, Quiero Tacos and Habibs, plus bespoke artwork throughout by Salford-based creatives.
And Salford residents will still be able to enjoy the exciting immersive art experience with Stories – Brought to Life, that uses cutting-edge digital technology to reveal the lives of the people who have shaped British history and culture – tickets can be found here.
