Watford Big Screen full list of films for summer 2026

The free open-air cinema experience will once again set up at the end of The Parade in the town’s high street before moving to a park for a second run of listings.

This time it will be in Woodside Playing Fields, instead of Knutsford Playing Fields as in 2025.

No bookings are required and deckchairs will be available in the town centre. There will be on-site traders and small fun fair rides available in Woodside Park, while attendees are encouraged to visit nearby businesses in The Parade.

However, chairs and picnics brought from home are also welcome.
