Lights, camera, action! Battersea Power Station will once again be the backdrop for silver screen classics and unforgettable theatre performances as Summer Showtime on The Coaling Jetty makes a showstopping return between 17th July and 30th August 2021.

Hosted on the historic Coaling Jetty on the River Thames in front of the Grade II* listed Power Station, London’s only open-air cinema and theatre experience will feature film screenings from The Cinema in the Arches, formerly known as Archlight Cinema, and special theatre and comedy performances from The Turbine Theatre.

Both retailers can usually be found nestled under the railway arches in Circus West Village, a thriving riverside neighbourhood for London and the first completed chapter in the regeneration of Battersea Power Station.

With film screenings and theatre performances selling out fast last year, cinema and theatre goers looking for a new outdoor experience in London will need to book fast to secure their seats at Summer Showtime on The Coaling Jetty 2021.

Cinema fans are in for a treat with the great line-up of much-loved classics and recent blockbusters including The Dark Knight, scenes of which were filmed in the Power Station itself, Mad Max: Fury Road, A Star Is Born, Dunkirk, Dirty Dancing, La La Land, Back To The Future, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Mamma Mia, Shaun of The Dead and many more hitting the big screen.

Cinema in The Arches is known for its five-star cinematic experience with super comfy, reclining seats, state-of-the-art Dolby Atmos surround sound and crystal-clear laser projection screens. The set of independent cinemas which includes sister sites, Cinema at Selfridges and Cinema at Olympic Studios, will also be expanding its portfolio with the opening of a major new cinema and private members club inside Battersea Power Station itself, once the London landmark opens its doors to the public next year.
Lisa Burdge, Co-Founder, The Cinema in The Arches said:
“Summer Showtime on The Coaling Jetty is a great way to enjoy the iconic outdoor setting of Battersea Power Station, along with views along the River Thames. We are delighted to be back again this Summer with a terrific line-up of old favourites and more recent blockbusters. The next 12 months are set to be exciting for us as we prepare to open The Cinema at The Power Station next year – complete with two large cinema screens, a new members’ bar, and screening room. We look forward to welcoming movie enthusiasts inside the historic London landmark, which has starred in several silver screen classics itself over the years.”
