Screen on the Green
NE1’s much-loved open-air cinema Screen on the Green takes over Old Eldon Square each summer with sensational film screenings and sporting action.

Showing two to three free films per day from late July to early September at Old Eldon Square, Screen on the Green is the perfect summer activity. Grab some popcorn or a bite to eat from a neighbouring restaurant, relax in one of NE1’s iconic deckchairs and take in some top-class movies – from big blockbusters and family-friendly films to cult classics and rom-coms.
Alongside over 80 films, Screen on the Green also screens amazing live sport events including action from the FIFA Women's World Cup, Wimbledon and Tour de France.
This year, we're also introducing a brand-new addition to Screen on the Green with Toddler Takeover - screenings perfect for families with young kids.
For more information, check out the full 2023 film, sport and Toddler Takeover schedule below and stop by Screen on the Green for some fun this summer!
