There’s a brand new floating cinema experience launching in London today, and the first pictures have now been revealed.

Openaire, Merchant Square and GoBoat are welcoming members of the public to Paddington's Merchants Square to enjoy screenings on Regent’s Canal under the stars.

There are 16 boats waiting to take up to 128 movie lovers out onto the water, with films being shown on a 6x3m LED screen and audio enjoyed through noise cancelling headphones.

If sailing isn’t for them, guests can also enjoy films from the comfort of dry land in deck chairs in the square.

Tickets for the experience are on sale now. They can be bought here.

It’s the latest cinematic venture in the capital, with open air film screenings and drive-in events taking place after lockdown.
