Cast Away
Summer at Watershed
Sat 3 Aug - Sun 1 Sept
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!
