BACKYARD CINEMA HEATS UP CAMDEN’S ROUNDHOUSE WITH AN L.A. THEMED PARTY CINEMA, ALL UNDER A ROOF

London's themed cinema experts gear up for an ‘all singing, all dancing’ retro, West Coast show, throwing the biggest Sing-A-Long beach parties in town this summer.  Featuring adult only Slush Puppie cocktails, (musical mash-ups from) Jaguar Skills and dazzling light shows for each screening. 

Temperatures are set to soar at Backyard Cinema this summer, as they use Camden’s Roundhouse as the backdrop to host the ultimate Sing-A-Long beach parties while transporting customers to L.A.’s Venice Beach.  Lighting up the bohemian beachscape like a rock concert with a lineup of the most iconic  films, L.A. Nights will have guests wide eyed and full of wonder with its custom light shows throughout all screenings, complete with bursting CO2 cannons, glitzy disco balls and special effects. The legendary DJ Jaguar Skills will get guests in the mood for singing and dancing with a specially curated pre-show mega mix.  Inspired by west coast classics and movie soundtracks guests will be raring to go before the film even begins to roll. It’s not just about the movie at LA nights, not only is a rain-free summer cinema experience guaranteed - it has its very own roof - but it’s packed so full of extras guests might even forget there’s a film to watch.

With a retro look and the taste of nostalgia, L.A. Nights will see the launch of exclusive, adult only Slush Puppiecocktails. Guests will be the first to try the Strawberry Daiquiri and Blueberry Gin & Tonic cocktails, leaving them comparing their fluorescent red and electric blue tongues. Brewing Expert Gipsy Hill and the Backyard Cinema team have created a bespoke fruit sour beer for the event inspired by the classic cocktail; tequila sunrise. The orange and pomegranate beer served from a hot pink can and adequately named ‘L.A. Nights’ will be sold across London for a limited amount of time and available at the event.  Cooling guests down will be the UK’s only plant based soft scoop ice cream by Dappa. Think vegan Mr Whippy but served in a black cinnamon cone and covered in natural toppings. With it’s thick texture and rich taste the outrageously creamy almond and cashew blend will be a show stopper.  With this classic list of summer party films gracing Backyard Cinemas biggest screen yet, guests won't be able to refrain from bellowing out their favourite movie soundtracks and showing off their dance moves in the aisle, with the slightly braver guests trying out their best attempt at the iconic Dirty Dancing lift. 

BACKYARD CINEMA

Once started as a homemade project in a back garden, the Backyard Cinema has grown to be one of London’s most recognised and sought after alternative cinema experiences. Last year, Backyard Cinema moved into a permanent home, the Mercato Metropolitano, opening London’s first themed cinema.
