Northwood House, a 5-minute walk from Cowes Parade, is a beautiful, historic house set in lovely grounds. Cinema-goers will also get to see some of the ornate interior, including the rotunda.
The film will be shown on the private lawn of the house and film go-ers are encouraged to bring a picnic mat or chair to relax in the wonderful surroundings and experience a truly entertaining film under the stars. There will be delicious food, alcoholic beverages and soft drinks available as well as blankets, picnic mats and ‘wedge’ seats for sale to keep you comfortable through any high seas adventure!
