About us

Watch films under the stars at Plymouth Arts Cinema's unique Open Air Cinema by the sea. Plymouth Arts Cinema has been taking its cinema on tour each summer for a sell-out series of events since 2012. The Independent recently featured this beloved feature as a Plymouth top Summer attraction for 2019.

Our big weekend at Royal William Yard (12-14 September), opens with one of the years' biggest blockbusters, Captain Marvel. What better way to celebrate Friday 13th than by donning your favourite fishnets and joining us in a Time Warp to The Rocky Horror Picture Show. We finish the summer with our second screening of Bohemian Rhapsody, just in case you missed it or want one more chance to celebrate the brilliance of Freddie Mercury and Queen.

On each night, doors and bar open from 7pm, film starts from 8.45pm.

Advance booking is strongly recommended as these events sell out. Tickets available from Plymouth Arts Cinema at www.plymouthartscentre.org or at our Box Office (Tavistock Place, PL4 8AT / 01752 206 114, open until 31 July Tue-Fri: 5-8.30pm, Sat: 1-8.30pm). Please note booking for Open Air Cinema events will be online only from 1 August until 6 September.

The programme:
Thursday 12 September: Captain Marvel
Captain Marvel is an extraterrestrial Kree warrior who finds herself caught in the middle of an intergalactic battle between her people and the Skrulls. Living on Earth in 1995, she keeps having recurring memories of another life as U.S. Air Force pilot Carol Danvers. With help from Nick Fury, Captain Marvel tries to uncover the secrets of her past while harnessing her special superpowers to end the war with the evil Skrulls. With a fierce performance from Brie Larson, this is the superhero film we've all been waiting for.

Friday 13 September: The Rocky Horror Picture Show
The film that the description 'Cult Classic' was made for. When sweethearts Brad and Janet, stuck with a flat tire during a storm, discover the eerie mansion of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, their innocence is lost for ever. Brad and Janet meet a houseful of wild characters and through elaborate dances and rock songs, Frank-N-Furter unveils his latest creation: a muscular man named Rocky. Dress to impress, bring your best feather boa and your very best dance moves to do the Time Warp with us on Friday the 13th.

Saturday 14 September: Bohemian Rhapsody
Be sure to catch our last open air screening of the utterly brilliant, Oscar-winning Bohemian Rhapsody. This is a foot-stomping celebration of Queen, their music and their extraordinary lead singer Freddie Mercury who defied stereotypes and shattered convention to become one of the most beloved entertainers on the planet. Join in the singing, dance along and wear a white vest if you dare!
