Paris Olympics Quayside

Residents are invited to watch the Paris Olympics on the Quayside for free this summer.

The brand new ‘Screen on the Docks’ at the Waterside Steps offers residents the chance to take in the waterside views while watching this year’s Olympics. There is also a schedule of ‘family movie favourites’ throughout the school holidays which residents/ visitors can watch for free.

The films listed in the schedule include Mean Girls, Matilda the musical, Sing, Top Gun: Maverick and The Fast and The Furious.

There will also be a Pimms pop up bar close to the waterside station and visitors can enjoy fish and chips from Super Fry Guys and cocktail infused ice creams from A Few Scoops.

The ‘Screen on the Docks’ will be open to residents until September, no booking is required.

Caroline Aikman said:“As a place MediaCity has always been generous with its space and summer is the time when it really comes alive.

“We’ve always recognised what an asset the waterfront is and the investment into the steps has enhanced an area which was already a natural draw for people.

“By creating more comfortable seating it’s become a haven for workers taking a break at lunch, residents who just want to enjoy the fresh air and families who pop down to take in a movie in a unique setting which is entirely free for people to enjoy.”

The Olympics will be shown on the waterfront steps daily. A full schedule of movies can be found here: Screen-on-the-docks-schedule.pdf (mediacityuk.co.uk).
