One of our favourite things to do in the summer is go to an outdoor cinema. Sitting on a deckchair, beanbag or picnic rug and enjoying a movie in the great outdoors is such an experience and something that you can do as a couple, with friends or as a family.
I thought it would be nice to put together all the outdoor cinema options across Hampshire to give you some inspiration for a day or night out, relaxing and watching a movie with some of your favourite people.

We went to our first outdoor cinema in 2013 in Gran Canaria on holiday. We absolutely loved the experience; it felt amazing to sit outside and watch a film in the open! The outdoors cinemas in Hampshire looks fab I cannot believe you have so many of them!
