And if you’re coming from Albert Bridge, please use Albert Bridge in the northwest corner of the park. Those are your three options. Enjoy!
“Dance, magic dance!” Mid 80s Bowie-featuring, Jim Henson fantasy on the big screen under the stars in Battersea Park - woohoo!
A blend of Alice In Wonderland and Wizard of Oz with unmistakeably spunky Henson puppetry (this was the last film he directed before his death), Labyrinth has achieved the status of cult nostalgia for a generation of a certain age - the film was a box office flop at the time, struggling to recoup half of its then massive $25m budget. But like all great cult films of the 80s, it has slow-burned its way into popular affection, helped in no small part by Trevor Jones’ score, the surreal touches introduced to the script by Monty Python’s Terry Jones, and of course Bowie’s Goblin King Jareth.
Come indulge yourself, or introduce a new generation. Bring a blanket or low chair, a picnic (but no glass at this venue please) and something warm to wear when the sun goes down and we enter the world of the Labyrinth. Goblin costumes and puppets more than welcome…
