Screen on the Green

NE1’s Screen on The Green returns Saturday 1st July in preparation for a summer of free, open air screenings of family movies, national and international sporting action and a major coup for the city, a new cultural offering, two open air Operas broadcast directly from the Royal Opera House in London.

Keep up to date with the latest screenings schedule here, or to the left of this page.

The programme kicked off on Saturday 1st July with screenings of Bedknobs and Broomsticks at 12pm and Beauty and the Beast (1991) at 4pm. Sunday 2nd saw Chitty Chitty Bang Bang at 12pm and Paddington at 4pm.

From Monday 3rd - Sunday 16th the screen will be showing live action from Wimbledon each day, with La Traviata from the Royal Opera House at 6.30pm on Tuesday 4th July, and Turandot on Friday 14th at 6.30pm.

As part of the NE1 Newcastle Motor Show there will be screenings of Cars 2 (11am Saturday 8th July), Senna (2pm Saturday 8th) and Herbie Fully Loaded (11am Sunday 9th July), as well as action from the British Grand Prix on the weekend of 15th & 16th July.

Monday 24th July sees films return to the screen, with two each day all the way until Sunday 3rd September, barring 10 days of World Athletics Championships live from London. Film listings will be announced soon but keep an eye out for them, the strongest line-up Screen on the Green has ever seen! 

A series of family favourites, classic movies and new releases will be part of the schedule with Sundays devoted to Smooth Sundays, brought to you by Smooth Radio. The Smooth Radio team will be on hand during the screenings and there will be opportunities to win VIP prizes.

An essential part of summer in Newcastle, NE1 are proud to offer our outdoor cinema to one and all every year. We host free film screenings of family favourites, new movies and old classics on a huge cinema screen in the heart of the city at Old Eldon Square!
