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 the middle of July to the end of August at Old Eldon Square, the award-winning 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 100 films, Screen on the Green will also be screening live sporting action from Wimbledon.
There's plenty of fun for younger children too with Toddler Takeover - screenings of Julia Donaldson book adaptations featuring juice cartons for the little ones and rugs to cosy up on - and interactive outdoor play spaces including the popular Tiny Toon, a miniature village featuring tiny versions of iconic Newcastle locations and landmarks offering kids plenty of pretend play fun.
Check out the Screen on the Green schedule below and get set for a summer of free big-screen fun at Old Eldon Square.

Film Schedule
Some of the films we show may be classified as 12A. These will be marked on the web schedule and a notice will also appear on the screen before these films.
The British Board of Film Classifications states that films classified as 12A may contain material that is not generally suitable for children aged under 12. No one younger than 12 may see a 12A film in a cinema unless accompanied by an adult. Adults planning to take a child under 12 to view a 12A film should consider whether the film is suitable for that child.
