Open Air Cinema is returning to Dulwich Park this summer!


After a sell out debut screening last year, The Screen On The Green will be holding three themed screenings this August as Dulwich Park once more plays host to cinema under the stars! The season launches on Saturday 15th August with 'Classic Night' and a screening of 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' complete with an exclusive video introduction from star of the film, Mickey Rooney! To complement the film, Pavilion Cafe will be serving a selection of cocktails. Saturday 22nd August is '80s Night' with a screening of 'Back To The Future'. This time the introduction comes from 80s legend, Steve Guttenberg, star of Police Academy, who has provided a video introduction to the night. The season closes on Saturday 29th August with a night called 'Best Of British' - celebrating homegrown films, and a screening of Guy Ritchie's 'Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels'. As a real treat, we have the star of the film, Jason Flemyng coming to the park in person to introduce the film.


Audiences are invited to bring a picnic, though Pavilion Cafe will be serving fabulous food and drink, with special menus designed for the open air cinema season!


All tickets are booked through the website - www.thescreenonthegreen.com and we are advising booking early as we have limited capacities and they are selling fast! Tickets cost ?7.50 each. We hope to see you there!

Did anyone go to this last week?


How was it?


The idea of sitting on a warm summer's evening sipping wine and watching a classic Audrey Hepburn movie sounded great.


I was away - but am going on Saturday 22nd with two teeage children to watch Back to the Future - can anyone answer the questions posed above? Are seats allowed?

We went last Saturday and it was great fun - highly recommended, especially if the weather is good. Quite a few people brought chairs, cushions, big blankets and we even spotted a few duvets as well! Clearly some people are professional outdoor cinema goers... Most people brought picnics and there were quite a few champagne corks popping about which was amusing. The film started about 30 minutes late as they were waiting for sunset, and there was also a 15 minute intermission so it didn't finish up until 11:30 or so. We had to exit via the main gate which was a bit of a pain as there aren't really any buses back to East Dulwich from that side. It also gets cool quite quickly once it's dark so definitely bring something warm to put on.
yes, I went too, it was really lovely - good food and decent drinks available, too - as long as you could beat the queue. Take some toilet roll and something warm for when the sun goes down. Loads of people sat on chairs, i would definately take some next time as the ground got damp towards the end.
My Grandad was in Breakfast at Tiffany's I think. Is this the one where Deborah Kerr is seen entering The Ritz hotel? The Chief Doorman was my Grandad and he was filmed opening the door for her in the film. (If this WAS the film!) I've been on hoiday - can anyone confirm this scene happens in this film? Must get a DVD copy if it is! Thanks!

Sorry PeckhamRose - wrong film.

Deborah Kerr is not in Breakfast at Tiffanys.

It's Audrey Hepburn, George Peppard, Patricia Neal. And it's set in New York.


But now I'm curious about the film that stars your Grandad! You'll have to do some research and let us know which film it is.

Another wonderful outdoor cinema night last night. We went last year and were very happy to go again last night. Well done George, we are looking forwards to next year!

Lots of blankets and jumpers are essential for once the sun goes down as is a ground sheet!

Enjoy if you are going next weekend, I am away but would have gone again!

It was fun - and some serious picnics going on!


Agreed it was chilly towards the end but pretty well organised. Would have been nice if Southwark had topped up the loos with loo-roll etc but other than that really well organised - and easy to get in/out.


My vote if they were doing cheesy 80s movie for next year was Top Gun or When Harry Met Sally.

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience    
    • Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
