What I need to know before I attend:
Millennium Square is located in the heart of the city within the new Harbourside development, which, with its modern landscaping and striking water and light features, provides a fabulous setting for the BP Big Screen events. The Square is easily accessible by all forms of transport and is suitable for wheelchairs and pushchairs.
The Square is lined by cafés, bars and promenades, which offer plenty of places to sit, relax and enjoy the views. In addition, the events will offer a variety of food and drink concessions and roving attractions and performances. Picnic hampers are welcome! All litter should be disposed of in bins provided or taken home.
A limited number of deckchairs will be available to hire but there will be no dedicated event seating, so please bring cushions or blankets for comfort. This is an outdoor event, so please dress appropriately for the anticipated weather conditions. Children must be accompanied by adults.
