Following its successful 10-week run which has seen tens of thousands of visitors, Backyard Cinema has announced it isextending its Manchester run until Wednesday 25th January 2023. With the Christmas programme running until Monday 2nd January, the rest of the month will see some newer releases including Disney’s Strange World, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, Avatar: The Way of Water, and Matilda the Musical and more.
Further all-time classics and favourites will also be screened to beat those January blues with feel-good films, including Moulin Rouge! (2001), Back to the Future (1985), The Greatest Showman (2017), Beauty and the Beast (2017), The Goonies (1985) and Pretty Woman (1990).
With its magical transformation up on the roof of Depot Mayfield, visitors will have their last chance to visit the unique cinema during this extended run in January. Audiences can expect to be transported through a magical portal to a cinema like no other – making choices as they explore the move-grade sets, through tunnels of trees and magical doors, to eventually discovering The Lost Theatre.
For those feeling peckish before their movie starts, guests can make their way to The Waiting Room’s Pizza & Pint House first. The pizza menu includes a classic The Godfather with mozzarella and basil; a dangerous Texas Chainsaw Massacre with chicken, ham, mozzarella, BBQ sauce, red onion and green pepper; Babe: Pig in the City with sausage, ham and mozzarella; and more. Plus, seasonal cocktails, mulled wine, boozy hot chocolate and drinks on tap available.
Dominic Davies, Founder and CEO of Backyard Cinema, said: “We have loved taking our alternative cinema experience to Manchester for our very first project outside of London, and the team have been overwhelmed by the incredible turnout and rave reviews we received. And we now look forward to extending our Manchester run for the last chance to experience The Lost Theatre.”
