About this event
A free canal-side big screen in Paddington runs a weekly summer film season — this week's slate includes 'Wonka', with 'Tangled' and both 'Wicked' films to follow through late August. Deckchairs are first-come-first-served, or bring a picnic blanket; food and drink are available to buy but entry itself costs nothing.
