A Brighton favourite summer event, Big Beach Screen Events (BBSE) is back with its 6th annual hosting of Europe’s largest outdoor cinema, right here on Brighton beach – and with this year’s programme promising to be bigger and better than ever, expect a month-long film extravaganza! 75,000 people attended last year, and with shows like a screening of BAFTA and Oscar award winner “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” starring Eddie Redmayne and Katherine Waterston, followed by “Kong: Skull Island” starring Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L Jackson and Brie Larson, kicking things off on Friday July 28th, it’s easy to see why it’s such an enormously popular event! Where else would you want to be, other than on one of the UK’s most famous beaches, enjoying a screening of a brilliant film with friends and family?
Following the opening screenings July 28th, festivities are officially launched on Saturday July 29th when super-star DJ, the legendary Gilles Peterson takes to the stage for a day-long music festival, along with music producer and DJ MC Earl Zinger and a whole host of bands and musicians – including Norman Cook’s AKA Fatboy Slim’s former band Freak Power who’ve reunited especially for the summer.
