After Dark - Starlight Cinema: Shrek

Are you ready for a completely unique cinema experience? Grab a seat, sit back and relax as Shrek plays out under the stars of The Planetarium in our late-afternoon mini movie series this summer.

When the Science Centre doors close, the cinema screen will be rolling! Why not spend the day exploring the science exhibits and live shows before grabbing some popcorn and reliving some of the best movies from the past. Treat the kids to some movie history and relive your childhood memories. What are you waiting for?

Starlight Cinema is part of our After Dark evening events.

Your Starlight Cinema ticket includes:

• A showing of Shrek under the stars of the Planetarium.
• Opportunity to purchase popcorn, nachos, paninis, mac & cheese and drinks.

*Please note that the Science Centre will reopen for this evening event at 5pm. The movie will start at 5:30pm. Shrek runs for 1 hour and 29 minutes. The film is shown in The Planetarium on a curved screen therefore some seats may have obscured viewing angles. All children attending must be accompanied by an adult. There will be no access to the exhibition floors during this event.

Entrance to the Science Centre during the day is not included with your ticket. If you would like to visit during the day as well, please book general admission alongside your event ticket.*

Accessibility information for Starlight Cinema

The Planetarium is accessible so everyone can have a special experience here. It's not super dark and you can move around, go out and come back in if you like. If you have a wheelchair, we have spaces for you to sit with seats for your family and friends. The stairs have lights to make them easy to see.

About the movie (rating PG)

Once upon a time, in a far away swamp, there lived an ogre named Shrek whose precious solitude is suddenly shattered by an invasion of annoying fairy tale characters. They were all banished from their kingdom by the evil Lord Farquaad. Determined to save their home, not to mention his, Shrek cuts a deal with Farquaad and sets out to rescue Princess Fiona to be Farquaad's bride. Rescuing the Princess may be small compared to her deep, dark secret.

This event is a fundraising event for Wonderseekers, the charity that runs Winchester Science Centre.
