Outdoor cinema Botanical Gardens
Films under the stars, surrounded by greenery
To mark Utrecht University’s 50th anniversary, the Botanical Gardens are opening their gates for a series of special open-air film evenings.
Take a seat amongst the greenery, enjoy a summer evening under the stars, and be captivated by films that bring together science, nature and imagination. An open-air cinema in a unique spot in Utrecht, where nature, the stars and cinema come together.
With this programme, we are celebrating the anniversary and the connection between Utrecht University, UMC Utrecht, the city and the Utrecht region. The film evenings tie in with the 2026 anniversary theme: connection. They show how curiosity, creativity and wonder connect science and nature.
