JAWS - Penarth Rooftop

Jaws (1975)

It's a hot summer on Amity Island, a small community whose main business is its beaches. When new Sheriff Martin Brody discovers the remains of a shark attack victim, his first inclination is to close the beaches to swimmers. This doesn't sit well with Mayor Larry Vaughn and several of the local businessmen. Brody backs down to his regret as that weekend a young boy is killed by the predator. 

The dead boy's mother puts out a bounty on the shark and Amity is soon swamped with amateur hunters and fisherman hoping to cash in on the reward. A local fisherman with much experience hunting sharks, Quint, offers to hunt down the creature for a hefty fee. Soon Quint, Brody and Matt Hooper from the Oceanographic Institute are at sea hunting the Great White shark. 

As Brody succinctly surmises after their first encounter with the creature, they're going to need a bigger boat!

Screening Information:

The venue is located on top of the Figtree rooftop on Penarth Waterfront.

Our events are for adults, no under 18s admitted. Please ensure that you bring along I.D. if you’re lucky enough to look under 21!!  No dogs or pets allowed.

A licensed bar is available so you can enjoy a drink watching the sun go down and the stars appear. Hot food and cinema snacks and treats will also be available for you to nibble on...check our Facebook page for updates nearer the night for which of our friends will be catering.  We'll also supply some awesome tunes to enjoy whilst you watch the sun go down.

What if it rains? We will still go ahead – we are an open air cinema in Cardiff Bay so keep this in mind when getting ready as there is no cover – you should check the weather forecast and come dressed appropriately! Remember to bring warm/waterproof clothing and a blanket if you wish, as it does get cool once the sun disappears. We will have disposable ponchos available for free if it's raining. Only in the case of extreme weather, such as dangerously high winds/torrential rain, will the screening be cancelled and we will re-allocate your tickets to another screening.
