Stone Roses frontman Ian Brown once said that 'Manchester has everything except a beach'. Well, very soon, it will have. Backyard Cinema is set to return to the Depot Mayfield, and it’s bringing the coastline with it.
It’ll be transforming the roof of the former freight depot into a beach, with a massive 30 tonnes of sand. The theme of the pop-up cinema’s summer season is ‘80s Miami beach’.
They’ll be holding weekly beach parties to run alongside their movie screenings, and serving up palm tree cocktails along with some Miami-style art deco styling in the inside of the cinema venue. It all starts on July 5 and will run until early August.
