Curzon will operate its exclusive open-air cinema seven days a week, with a capacity for 150 people. The Camden x Curzon partnership will provide visitors with the opportunity to experience exclusive screenings for films yet to hit the UK, including Francois Ozon’s hotly anticipated ‘Summer of 85’. The open-air cinema will be designed by Curzon’s in house team, hosting deckchairs, and black carpet throughout to help guests immerse themselves in the cinematic experience.
Known as a place to discover other worlds and cultures, Curzon aims to broaden perspectives and deliver memorable theatrical experiences.
