Big Screen in the Garden 2026

Four nights of cinema, under the stars.

Wed 29 Jul - Sat 1 Aug 2026

Big Screen in the Garden

Exeter Phoenix moves outdoors for four nights of cinema under the stars.

This year we will sing, and we will dance. We will make new friends and challenge old ones.

And along the way, we might just discover that the best stories happen when the sun goes down.

About Big Screen

Previously held in Exeter's Northernhay Gardens as Big Screen in the Park and Princesshay Exeter as Big Screen in the City, this year we return closer to home with Big Screen in the Garden, in Exeter Phoenix's neighbouring garden at RAMM.

Every year, regardless of the location, our Big Screen events combine Exeter Phoenix’s love of cinema with a passion for bringing the best cultural events to our community.
