As the evenings stretch and the water catches the light, Everyman on the Canal returns to Granary Square at King’s Cross - your favourite outdoor cinema.
From the golden age of Hollywood to modern favourites, our programme is designed for shared moments with your loved ones and warm summer evenings. Drift through the glamour of Some Like It Hot, sing along with your friends to Grease, set off on a family adventure with Paddington in Peru, take an intergalactic journey to the scorching deserts of Dune: Part One, or be runway-ready for The Devil Wears Prada. There’s something for everyone, whether you’re revisiting old favourites, ticking off long-awaited watchlist picks, or simply enjoying an easy evening by the canal.
Everyman on the Canal runs from 29 June until 16 August, serving up the best of cinema all summer long. With no booking required, all screenings are walk-in. Arrive early, find your spot along the canal, and settle in for a great movie, complete with a delicious menu of both sweet and salty snacks.
Everyone knows films are best enjoyed in the sunshine, especially when paired with frozen margaritas and popcorn. Looking for something sweeter to beat the heat? Everyman’s Dream Ice Cream is back for 2026, serving up extravagant sundaes and ice cream cones, alongside our new addition… chocolate-dipped strawberries!
And if tennis is your thing, you’re in the right place. We’ll be showing live Wimbledon coverage throughout the day from 29 June to 12 July, before films take over as evening falls. It’s the perfect summer treat, from start to finish.
