Be king of the disco at Dalemain Mansion, fend off zombies in Hamsterley Forest or dance with Jake and Elwood Blues at Muncaster Castle during a season of classic films being shown at venues across the North of England, as part of the Picnic Cinema programme.

The unique movie experience brings together beautiful locations, movie classics, including Saturday Night Fever, The Evil Dead, and The Blues Brothers, and camping on-site. Well-behaved dogs can even come along too at many of the venues.

Patrons are encouraged to get into the spirit of the film by dressing up and joining the party before the film begins at nightfall. After the film there is music and dancing, for those camping at the venues. If you decide to stay at one of the Club Sites listed below, make sure you return before the site barriers are shut at 11pm.
