This summer, Battersea Power Station Development Company (“BPSDC”), on behalf of the shareholders of Battersea Power Station and Everyman Media Group will partner to create a unique cinema experience: A seven week outdoor cinema and street food event, in association with Heineken®, is taking place at the Battersea Pop-Up Park in front of the towering Power Station from July 10th to August 31st 2014.
This will be the last summer the public will have access to the Pop-Up Park at Battersea Power Station before that area of the 42 acre redevelopment progresses.
Expect an unrivalled cinema and food experience providing the audience with a creative, fresh and exciting space that is designed to reflect the rebirth of the Power Station itself and the surrounding Nine Elms area.
Access throughout the summer to this iconic space will be open to the public 7 days a week with varying times for music, food and film offerings throughout the day and evenings. There will be a broad range of great cinema to experience by the river and beneath the Power Station.
Visitors will enter the site from Chelsea Bridge Road, with the boldly designed cinema screen guiding the way. Once entering the park, there will be an outdoor cinema, screened on a state of the art, high definition, 9 meter LED screen so that films can be enjoyed in the open air during the day with the aid of state-of-the-art earphones. The cinema has a capacity of 250 seats, 76 of which will be premier tickets with bespoke made pods designed to offer a more private experience for couples and small groups, which will also have the luxury of pre-film table service as well as being covered. The first two weeks of films are on sale now with party favourites like Wayne’s World and The Wolf of Wall Street, all guns blazing in Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, Pulp Fiction and Drive as well as the FIFA World Cup Final on 13th July.
With various other seating options around the park, there will also be a licenced covered bar area with a capacity of 1,000 people, plus the renowned Street Feast will be bringing some of the best food traders from across London as well as vibrant music keeping the atmosphere alive for all the visitors.
Street Feast have an excellent history of taking over unique urban spaces from old car parks to derelict building yards so is well set to inject life into the park space. With a host of top street food traders including Le Bun, Spit & Roast, Popdogs, Mama’s Jerk and Anna Maes the choice on offer will be unrivalled as well as a partially covered bar area including a Prosecco & Oyster Bar.
