Cast Away

Summer at Watershed

Season

Please note : this season finished in Sept 2024

Down by the harbourside, by the shores of the River Avon, circled by sea gulls, there is an oasis situated perfectly for all your Summer Holiday Cinema needs - and they serve Ice Cream Nachos!

Join us throughout August for a season of cast away films for the whole family, exploring deserted islands, shipwrecked zoo animals and a whole host of strange and magical cast away tales inspired by the Desert Island Adventure - Kensuke's Kingdom. From Jumanji to Red Turtle, Madagascar, Scooby Doo and more - we've got you covered. All tickets for the whole gang are just £5.00.

And it's not just in our cinemas where you will find things to do at Watershed this summer. Head down to the Pervasive Media Studio where we'll be holding a Creative Family Workshop on Thu 15 Aug from 10:00 - 12:00 for 7 - 14 year olds and their grown ups. More details to follow!

Plus - it's competition time! Fancy winning a Private Cinema Screening for you and all your friends? Grab a special Review sheet after the film and write / draw a review of the film you've just seen as part of our Castaway Season. Pop your contact details on the back - and hand it in at Box Office.

*Competition details:Entrants must be between 6 - 10 years old. If you are younger than 6 and want to take part, draw us a picture and we'll share it on our socials. This won’t form part of the competition. Hand your review in at Box Office, or - if you want to take it home - just email us the picture.

If you'd rather submit by audio recording or video, send this by email.

We will publish the top 5 entries on our website.
