Outdoor Cinema Northampton

Experience the Magic of Outdoor Cinema Northampton

Outdoor Cinema Northampton is held in the grounds of Delapré Abbey on London Road, just south of the town centre. Follow the entrance down to the car park, then walk up towards the abbey and you'll find the screen on the big green at the top of the path, its a 5 min walk from the main car park. It's close to Wellingborough, Towcester, Daventry and Milton Keynes.

 

This Halloween, on Wednesday 28th October, Delapré Abbey hosts Hocus Pocus and The Lost Boys. Bring a picnic and a blanket and come in costume – we’ll email you firm catering details before the event.

 

Tickets need just a £5 deposit on Eventbrite, with the rest paid on the door. Toilets, including disabled toilets, are available and under 3s go free.

 

About Delapré Abbey

Delapré Abbey is one of Northampton’s hidden gems – a historic house on London Road with roots going back to a 12th-century nunnery. The Battle of Northampton was fought close by in 1460, and after a major restoration the abbey and its gardens reopened to the public in 2018. For one night, its parkland becomes an open air cinema.

 

Accessibility

The screen is on grass, so the ground can be uneven, especially after rain. Toilets, including disabled toilets, are on site. If you need a carer ticket or any other support, email us at info@openairfilm.co.uk before the event and we’ll help.

 

What to bring

Camping chairs or blankets (there’s no seating at Halloween), warm layers and a hot water bottle, a torch for the walk back to the car and sensible shoes for the grass. You’re welcome to bring your own picnic and drinks, including alcohol – please drink responsibly and leave the glass at home. No BBQs.

 

Tickets and prices

Adult £15, child £10, family (2 adults, 2 children) £35. Secure your place with a £5 deposit per ticket on Eventbrite and pay the rest on the door. Under 3s go free. Tickets are e-tickets on your phone – lost yours? We have a master list at the gate.

 

Weather and refunds

In most weather the show goes on, so wrap up and bring a poncho just in case. Refunds are available up to two weeks before the event, and if heavy rain or high winds mean we cancel or postpone, you’ll get a full refund. We post live updates on our Facebook page.
