The Best Places in Norfolk for Open-Air Movies in 2019

Luckily Norfolk is one of the UK’s driest counties, so it’s a great part of the country to enjoy outdoor cinema. With many warm and sunny evenings ahead, it’s worth taking full advantage of the upcoming balmy weather (fingers tightly crossed); nothing beats watching a movie under the stars. From cinematic classics, to modern day blockbusters and family favourites, there are a wide range of films showing outdoors this summer in Norfolk.

Get your popcorn at the ready and locate your picnic blanket as there are a host of outdoor cinemas returning to Norfolk for another stunning summer of film. Check out the following guide for the best outdoor cinemas in Norfolk in 2019:
