Havering is set for a brand-new summer cinema experience as the Council brings free outdoor film screenings to the historic Upminster Windmill.

The Grade II listed landmark will be transformed into an outdoor cinema on Saturday 29 August, with three films shown on a giant LED screen, alongside live entertainment throughout the day.

And best of all — it’s completely free!

The packed programme includes:

1pm–2.45pm: GOAT (PG)

4.15pm–4.45pm: Interactive music quiz and karaoke

4.45pm–6.45pm: The Devil Wears Prada 2 (12A)

7.55pm–8.45pm: Live music performance

8.45pm–10.50pm: Michael (12A)

The event is being made possible thanks to the support of main sponsor Elm Site Services and co-sponsor Aesthetics of Essex.

Michael Steel, Director of Elm Site Services, said:

“Elm Site Services has a long and proud history of working with Havering Council, so we are delighted to support the Council’s first outdoor cinema.

“Community events like these bring people together, create lasting memories, and strengthen local connections. We are always pleased to support initiatives that benefit residents and visitors.”

Councillor Keith Prince AM, Leader of Havering Council, said:

“I am really pleased to announce what is a Council first, as we welcome a day of hugely popular films at an outdoor cinema at Upminster Windmill.

“I look forward to joining residents in front of the big screen and enjoying the great atmosphere as family and friends come together at such a special location.

“Thank you to our main sponsor Elm Site Services for supporting this event and their continued work with the Council. I would also like to thank co-sponsor Aesthetics of Essex. This event is only possible due to the generous support of our sponsors.

“The outdoor cinema is just one of many cultural events helping bring communities together this summer. From live music at the bandstand in Raphael Park, Romford, to family-friendly attractions and cultural celebrations being delivered by Havering London – this really is a perfect opportunity to celebrate the creativity, heritage and community spirit that makes our borough unique. It is through these cultural events that we can come together as a community, regardless of our backgrounds, to celebrate the things that make us all residents of this great Borough.”

Tickets will be limited to one film per household and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
