Eden Arts | Picnic Cinema

Project
Overview Whats On 2024 FAQs

Classic Films in Extraordinary Places

Far more than an outdoor cinema, the full Picnic Cinema experience includes dressing up, camping over, and letting your hair down with fun and games before the film, music, dancing and many more surprises.

All income raised from Picnic Cinema helps support our other projects across the north of England

Picnic Cinema would not be possible without the support Eden Arts have received from The Big Lottery Fund and Arts Council England.

We would also like to say a big thank you all the venue/site managers and owners that make Picnic Cinema possible.

FAQs

WEATHER / CANCELLATION

Picnic Cinema is not under cover and will go ahead whatever the weather unless it poses a health and safety risk and in this case we will cancel or reschedule the event, so please dress appropriately for the weather. Ticket holders will be notified by email and it will be published on our website and social media sites.

IS SEATING PROVIDED?

No please bring your own camping chairs.

WHAT TIME CAN I ARRIVE?

The time on your ticket is when the site is open from. Please do not arrive earlier than the stated time.

We have allowed for time for you to set up your tent (at camping events) and time to relax, have a drink and a picnic before the film. Before the film there will also be some fun and games and the film will start when it’s dark enough to see it! After the film there will be some music and dancing if that is what you are up for.

WHEN WILL IT END?

Cinema sites will close at 1am at the latest (this is subject to individual premises licences) you will then be asked to head back to the camping site (or home if you are not camping).

We must abide by the film age rating. Children will be allowed onto site for films with age ratings of U, PG and 12A as long as they are accompanied by an adult. ALL under 16’s must be accompanied by an adult.

REFUNDS POLICY

This means we cannot refund any booking fees, travel or accommodation costs incurred.

If you can’t make it and you have bought tickets we recommend you post that you have tickets to sell on www.scarletmist.com and on our Picnic Cinema facebook page. It is a face value ticket-exchange service, which respects music and festival lovers and would love to put ticket touts out of business!
