Summer Screens: Film Club

Join in at Canada Square Park for our summer Film Club running throughout July and August.

This season’s lineup of films features everything from recent releases and award winners to cult classics. Our packed program has something for everyone to enjoy.

If you’re in the mood for a rom-com, a sing-along, Bollywood, or Hollywood, you’ll find it all here at our Tuesday and Sunday evening screenings.

Our films are free to attend, just bring a picnic blanket and your favourite refreshments.

Films such as:
Black Panther (12)
Monsters Inc (U)
Grease (PG)
I Swear (12)
Wall-E (U)

Accessibility & Seating
Our summer screens are located outside on the grass, so we recommend bringing a picnic blanket to sit on.

If you need to bring a chair due to specific mobility or injury reasons, please speak to one of our helpful stewards first, before setting up. They will help identify a suitable spot where you can put out your chair without blocking the view for other film goers.

There is a dropped-curb in front of The entrance to the Ivy restaurant, for customers with wheelchairs to access the grass. Disabled customers take priority along this edge in front of the Ivy. Should you require assistance, a steward will be located in this area to provide additional support.

All our films will be screened with subtitles to aid viewers with hearing impairments.

If you have any questions about accessibility to any of our events, please email arts+events@canarywharf.com for further information.
