Cliftonville Outdoor Cinema – Margate’s Original Open-Air Movie Experience

Welcome to Cliftonville Outdoor Cinema – where the magic of film meets the open skies above Margate. 🎥✨ Established in 2019 at the iconic Oval Bandstand & Lawns, we are proud to be the longest-established outdoor cinema in Margate, bringing unforgettable big-screen moments to thousands of local residents and visitors every year.

We’re not just another cinema. As a not-for-profit social enterprise, every ticket sold helps support our community. Our mission is simple: to bring people together through film, laughter, and shared experiences in one of Margate’s most unique seaside settings.

From summer blockbusters to sing-along favourites and timeless classics, our screenings are all about atmosphere. Picture this: the sun setting over the coast, stars above, a deckchair waiting for you, and the buzz of an audience ready to enjoy a movie under the night sky.

At Cliftonville Outdoor Cinema, we combine great films with community spirit. Whether it’s a family outing, a date night, or an evening with friends, every show is designed to create lasting memories and a true sense of togetherness.

So, grab your popcorn and your favourite people, and join us at The Oval Bandstand & Lawns for Margate’s original and best outdoor cinema experience.

Cliftonville Outdoor Cinema – more than movies, it’s community under the stars. 🌠🍿🎬
