For the first time the Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final show will be broadcast live into cinemas across the UK – including Mansfield Odeon.
Hosted this year in Liverpool by the BBC on behalf of Ukraine to a global audience of more than 160 million, the 67th Eurovision Grand Final will take place on Saturday, 13th May.
Eurovision fans will be able to view a special preview of BBC Three’s new show ‘I Kissed a Boy’, presented by Dannii Minogue, before the Grand Final takes place from 8pm.
Tickets for the cinema screenings, presented in over 500 cinemas nationwide, will be available to buy on Monday, 27th March, at 10am, from ukcinemaparty.com. Fans can bring their usual Eurovision parties from the front room to the cinema, with fancy dress encouraged.
John Travers, of CinemaLive, distributors of the event in cinemas, said: “We’re delighted to be working with the BBC to bring Eurovision’s Grand Final live into cinemas across the UK for the first time ever! We want audiences to enjoy themselves, come along in groups, get your fancy dress on, and come together to enjoy this historic occasion on the big screen!”
The UK are hosting Eurovision this year on behalf of Ukraine, following the country’s victory at the 2022 contest with the song Stefania by Kalush Orchestra.
