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 Surrey to give you some inspiration for a day or night out, relaxing and watching a movie with some of your favourite people.

Drive In Cinema in Surrey
Although there were a lot of drive in cinema options available during the pandemic, the majority seem to have ceased since restrictions eased. I can’t find any drive in cinemas in Surrey this summer but if any come along I’ll make sure I update this post with details.
Cinema Hire in Surrey
If you can’t find the right option you could always think about hiring an outdoor cinema set up for a garden party or to use at a venue you’ve hired. Here are some of our favourite local suppliers:
- Daniel Lay Event Services
- Installed Events
- Session Event Hire
- Reigate Hot Tubs
- The Silent Cinema Company
I hope that helps you find an event or two near you to enjoy a fantastic outdoor cinema experience over the summer. Just make sure you click through and book tickets well in advance. If you know of any other outdoor cinema options that I’ve missed then please do get in touch and let me know – I’ll add them in as soon as I can. I’ll be updating this post regularly as most events get announced.
I love an outdoor cinema! The first one we ever went to was in Gran Canaria and it was amazing it had leather sofas, blankets, fairy lights, plus of course we were on holiday so it felt more magical!
I’ve a couple of weekends down you way soon so bookmarking this!
