As the summer of sport continues, Manchester has become well versed in communal screening spots, allowing the community to come together around a common interest. Now, Screen on the Docks at MediaCity in Salford is keeping the show going, sticking around until next month to screen a whole roster of cinema classics, alongside the Paralympics.
MediaCity’s new waterfront hang-out space is officially open with its beautiful planters, colourful seating and deck chairs overlooking the epic waterside views. The new big screen will be showing summer sporting favourites and family movie classics, so visitors can relax and enjoy the onscreen action with epic waterside views.
Visitors can enjoy fish and chips from SuperFry Guys and ice cream from A Few Scoops. Plus, have a competitive game of Urban Boules with family and friends before or after the flick, making it an affordable day out for everyone. Films on the schedule at Screen on the Docks this summer include Mean Girls, Matilda the Musical, Sing, Top Gun: Maverick, The Fast and The Furious, and many more.
Whether pre or post movie, indulge in the MediaCity surroundings just a stone’s throw from Screen on the Docks. Just across the water is Imperial War Museum North for some education and entertainment, The Lowry art gallery and theatre, and plenty of food and drink outlets to keep the whole family watered and fed. Whether you fancy sushi from Unagi, a theatrical tipple at The Alchemist or a wander through the huge Kargo MKT, everyone is well catered-for.
Screen on the Docks is a great spot to catch your favourite flicks and enjoy a slower pace with loved ones this summer, so get there before it’s gone on September 8. You can find the schedule here and book tickets for special events here.
