Merchant Square Summer Film Screenings

Merchant Square’s free outdoor film screenings are back for 2023, with a bumper set of movie delights in Paddington Basin.

The season kicks off on Shakespeare's birthday, 26 April, with a screening of the classic Romeo and Juliet. The event will feature a pop up cocktail bar with a special "Love Potion" twist on a negroni along with Mexican street food of tacos, nachos, and churros.

This is followed on 18 May with a screening of Inside Out, which is organised in support of Mental Health Awareness Week, bringing the community together in a relaxing atmosphere.
