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.

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.

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!
