Event Details
Experience an unforgettable evening of Adventure Films at Basildon Park. Set within glorious wooded parkland near Reading -just half an hour by train from London- this beautifully restored National Trust property offers sweeping views, peaceful woodland trails and open spaces perfect to explore.
As golden autumn leaves frame the landscape, you’ll wander through enchanting woodland from the car park to a truly special outdoor screening location. Settle in for a handpicked programme of award-winning short adventure documentaries - with more than 20 awards between them - and enjoy a relaxed evening under the open sky. A small bar inside the venue will be serving ice creams, soft drinks and alcoholic refreshments and our Indian street food suppliers Gully will be providing delicious food on site.
You’re welcome to hire one of our deckchairs for the full outdoor cinema experience, or bring along your own seating and blankets to get comfortable. It’s a memorable night of adventure storytelling in one of Berkshire’s most beautiful settings.
