Big Screen returns for its 22nd year – this time with a brand-new location in the heart of Exeter! We’ve partnered with Princesshay Exeter to create an immersive outdoor cinema experience, featuring a giant LED screen and high-quality wireless headphones (courtesy of Exeter’s own Silent Social) for an unbeatable open-air movie experience this summer.
This year’s line-up includes cult classics, family favourites, musical adventures and big-screen legends – all enhanced by pre-show fun, music and unique extras to get you in the mood before each screening.
