News on Earls Court Masterplan

As Underbelly Festival’s much-loved Udderbelly stage heads up to the cobbled streets of Edinburgh for the Fringe, The Earls Court Development Company is delighted to partner with Underbelly in bringing a new community offering to the site this summer. From 23 July, Underbelly Festival Earls Court will transform into a free public beach, an open-air cinema alongside street food traders, pop-up bars and games for all ages.

Films in the summer programme include Paddington 2, Sing 2, Encanto, Blade Runner, The Goonies, Spiderman: No Way Home, The Witches, Mary Poppins Returns, Dirty Dancing, JAWS and many more. There will be films for all ages and all tastes.

Screenings will run at 4pm and 7.30pm every day until early September with additional screenings at 12.30pm at weekends. Customers can watch all films for free with plenty of seating and table service in front the of the giant cinema screen.

Full film listings and schedule can be found at www.underbellyfestival.comand earlscourtdevco.com.

Underbelly Festival Earls Court will also see the return of the outdoor city beach. Guests can soak up the sun reclining on colourful deckchairs, while sipping on an ice-cold beer from Mardibar, or Tarquin Cornish Gin’s must-try drink of the summer – rhubarb and raspberry gin & ginger featuring Lixir ginger ale, fresh mint and fresh juicy raspberries. On the food front, visitors can tuck into artisanal pizzas from DaNapoli, famed for their simple yet delicious tomato based Marinara. For a taste of the sea, Sea Wise, will continue to serve up their fried squid and other fruits of the sea, and for delicious steak sandwiches and burgers, revellers should head to Herd.

Sarah Gaventa, Creative Director from The Earls Court Development Company said:

“We’re delighted to extend Underbelly Festival’s stay at Earls Court and sponsor the new Open-Air Cinema which is free for the whole community to enjoy. With a fantastic line up of films being shown, the return of the city beach and outdoor games, there really is something for everyone. This is all part of our vision to open the site back up and bring the wonder back to Earls Court.”

Keeping the spirit of Underbelly Festival alive in London from July to early September, the site will be open every day from 12pm until late, welcoming locals, tourists and Londoners alike to enjoy.
