Doors open at 7pm with films starting at 8.30pm. Tickets for individual films cost £10 or £20 for a weekend ticket and can be booked online.

At Fulham Palace, the Nomad Cinema presents films on the lawn on the following dates:

September 10 - The Graduate
September 11 - Gravity
September 18 - The Grand Budapest Hotel

Tickets cost from £10 - £28.50 and can be booked online. There are concessions for seniors, students, children 4 annd under and jobeeekers, while under fives and carers of those with a disability, learning difficulties or special needs can attend events for free.

Doors open at 6.45pm, with screenings at 7.45pm.

100% of The Nomad's profits go to The Sustainability Institute, an environmental and educational charity in South Africa which is making a difference to the quality of life for the families of Lynedoch Village and surrounding area.

To make the most of the occasion, The Nomad offers this advice:

Bring warm clothes, layers and blankets as it can get very cool towards the end of a screening. If the forecast looks a bit dodgy, pack some waterproofs just in case.

What should I bring?

  • A picnic (or enjoy the food and drink available on site – varies per event, see individual listings)
  • A torch or lantern can be useful
  • Warm clothes and blankets.
  • Raincoats, windbreakers and ponchos. Note: please be considerate if using an umbrella during a screening as it may block the view of those around you.
  • Rugs, tarpaulin or mats to sit on.
  • Chairs are welcome [low ones preferred!] but you may be asked to sit at the side or the back to avoid blocking other people’s view of the screen
