About Big Screen

Big Screen in the Park 2014 (Venessa Miles)

Previously held in Exeter's Northernhay Gardens as Big Screen in the Park, the event combines Exeter Phoenix’s love of cinema with a passion for bringing the best cultural events to our community.

For its 22nd year, we have partnered with Princesshay Exeter to offer an immersive outdoor cinema experience for viewers to enjoy the magic of the movies on a huge LED screen, through a wireless headphone system (supplied by Exeter-based Silent Social) in Princesshay's main square.
