By CW Contributor on 11/6/2021

Backyard Cinema: L.A. Nights, Roundhouse

Backyard Cinema: LA Nights

Backyard Cinema's LA Nights recreates the unmistakable Venice Beach. Pull up a beanbag on the sand, gaze up at the giant palm trees and savour an exotic cocktail amid the bohemian beachscape.


Backyard has prepared a dazzling line-up of buzzy movies to enjoy – whether for a romantic night out, a day trip with the kids or a party with friends. Grease, Moana and Moonlight are all being featured.


On our visit, to watch Point Break, we felt truly transported to a surfer beach with the pre-film transatlantic flight mock-up, complete with dance moves on the safety instruction sheet in the seat pocket, and infectious dance routine from the crew, culminating in one attendant pushing another down the aisle on the drinks trolley. Clapping and cheering, and sipping drinks while wriggling our toes in the sand beneath our beanbag seats, it was a really feelgood film experience.

Openaire Float-In Cinema

Openaire Float-In Cinema

Now, this looks like an event to remember. Openaire, in partnership with Häagen-Dazs, has created the UK’s first cinema experience by boat. Ticket-holders hop onto an eco-boat in Paddington Basin, which moves around Little Venice before mooring up to a 6x3m LED screen in Merchant Square. Audio is provided via sanitised headphones and all the usual cinema food is provided, as well as award-winning artisan pasta by chef RaviOllie. And, naturally, there’s Häagen-Dazs ice cream.


All the usual movies built for the big screen are showing, such as The Dark Knight, Moulin Rouge!, and Mamma Mia!. But the perfect film for this venue, coming at the end of Openaire’s run, is Steven Spielberg’s shark-hunting classic Jaws.
