This June, love will be in the air as Backyard Cinema’s critically acclaimed production of Romeo + Juliet returns to St George’s Hall in Liverpool City Centre, for a spectacular week-long cinematic residency.

Tickets on sale now on sale taking place from the 23rd to the 29th of June 2025, tickets for the week-long run in St Georges Hall are available through Backyard Cinema's website.

This will not just be any ordinary film screening, as audiences will step into the immaculate grandeur of St George’s Hall, a Grade I-Listed neoclassical masterpiece that is known as King Charles III's favourite building. Guests will be transported into the heart of Verona through candlelit aisles and the soaring sound of a live choir.

Taking place from the 23rd to the 29th of June 2025, this immersive reimagining of Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 cult classic promises to be one of the city’s most atmospheric and talked-about events of the summer.

“The venue [St George's Hall] is such a perfect fit, and the audience reactions made last year's sold-out screenings a really special experience. With a brand new set of soloists and band this year's performance is set to be bigger and better than ever before.” - Dominic Davies, Backyard Cinema's Founder & CEO.

As the film unfolds, iconic tracks from the original soundtrack such as “Young Hearts Run Free”, “Everybody’s Free”, “Kissing You”, and “When Doves Cry” will be performed live, interspersed throughout the screening, creating a deeply immersive, multisensory experience unlike anything else on the UK cinema scene.

Backyard Cinema has spent the past decade redefining what it means to go to the cinema. What started as a DIY project in a London garden has grown into one of the country’s leading alternative cinema experiences.

With over half a million attendees to date, Backyard Cinema is known for transforming spaces into unforgettable worlds, where film, theatre and music collide in dazzling harmony.

Their production of Romeo + Juliet has toured extensively to sold-out audiences and glowing reviews, and its return to Liverpool marks a highly anticipated highlight of their 2025 UK tour.

St George’s Hall provides the perfect setting for this romantic and dramatic tale. One of Liverpool’s most iconic cultural landmarks, its opulent architecture – from Corinthian columns to mosaic floors – evokes a sense of timeless grandeur that amplifies the intensity of Shakespeare’s story.

This event promises to captivate a wide audience – from devoted film enthusiasts and couples in search of the perfect date night, to anyone craving a truly unforgettable evening. Whether you're revisiting Baz Luhrmann’s dazzling adaptation or experiencing it for the first time, this is a rare chance to see one of cinema’s most iconic love stories in a bold and breathtaking new light.

Dominic Davies, Backyard Cinema's Founder & CEO, said: “I can’t wait to return to Liverpool with Romeo+Juliet. The venue is such a perfect fit, and the audience reactions made last year's sold-out screenings a really special experience. With a brand new set of soloists and band this year's performance is set to be bigger and better than ever before.”
