Alien

In Edgbaston, no one can hear you scream.

This May, we’re taking outdoor cinema stratospheric. Join us at Birmingham’s Botanical Gardens for an evening of facehuggers and plenty of edge-of-your-seat action courtesy of Ridley Scott's iconic sci-fi horror Alien.

When the crew of spaceship Nostromo responds to an SOS from a distant planet they are invaded by a terrifying new life form and must fight for survival.

Expect great food and drink, a pumping soundtrack to set the mood, and a few surprises along the way.

This is Alien like you’ve never seen it before - immersive, unforgettable, and totally out of this world.
