This was a one-off pop-up cinema & picnics night.  And the audience went all out! Picnic hampers, fresh strawberries.  Ellen’s homemade brownies sold from the EC bar made a perfect dessert.

For the first time Star Wars was on the Enchanted Cinema big screen and it was just magical.  A perfect, warm summer’s evening under the stars!

Local musician Max Bianco performed a spell-binding set.  Big thanks to him, we love being able to showcase local musicians and it was great to feel that the audience were enjoying listening to some Cambridge accoustic as much as we do!

We’d added yet more lights. And so The Orchard Tea Gardens glittered more than had yet. As everyone pulled their headsets over their ears, got cosy in their deckchair and the sun set, it was the most beautiful scene.

Smiling faces were lit up under the glow of the screen and twinkling lights. That’s what Enchanted Cinema is all about!

We’ll be sure to screen another Star Wars film under the stars again soon.  We’ve got a couple of our favourite classics in mind.
