Openaire is proud to present the UK's first float-in cinematic experience at Merchant Square, Paddington. We'll have the best names and big-screen blockbusters, cult classics and sing your heart out musicals. Enjoy these movie phenomenons on the UK's biggest ever river side screen with crystal clear sound streaming straight to your boat or deck chair.
Food and drink will be available on the day through our app and will be delivered straight to your boat or deck chair. We have a variety of different food options as well as alcoholic and soft drinks.
Boat tickets include an optional self-drive boat hire before the film begins. This will allow you to drive your boat through the canals of London before settling in to watch your screening. If you would rather not explore the waterways, you can collect your boat and drive it straight to the screening area. Deck chairs are also available for this time before the showing.
Please note: The boat's maximum occupancy is 8 people which includes children. Pets are also allowed on board. We are currently accepting the following for boat bookings:
- Two households/bubbles per boat (maximum capacity eight people)
- Six individuals from different households per boat, maintaining 1m social distance whilst on board
We may require proof of address and contact details for each guest which will need to be provided on arrival prior to boarding.
Openaire is a cash free operation to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Please bare this in mind when attending the event. For more information on the other measures we are implementing to keep you safe during the event, please head to our
