Classic Isle: A Night at the Movies

Classic Isle: Night at the Movies brings John Williams and Hans Zimmer film music to Robin Hill with the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.

Presented by Classic Isle

Classic Isle: Night at the Movies brings the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra to Robin Hill in Newport for an open-air concert built around John Williams and Hans Zimmer. The show is listed for Sunday 12 July 2026, from 7.30pm to 10pm, giving the weekend a cinematic second night after the Saturday Proms performance.

This is the kind of orchestral event that works for people who recognise the music before they recognise the composer. Williams and Zimmer scores carry their own pictures, so the appeal is immediate: adventure, tension, spectacle and a summer crowd hearing film music on a full scale. Robin Hill gives the concert room to breathe, with enough parkland atmosphere to make the evening feel bigger than a standard theatre booking.

Adult tickets are listed from £30 through Classic Isle. It is one of the more accessible music events on the Isle of Wight for families with older children, film fans and visitors who want an outdoor plan that still feels polished. The Sunday date makes it a strong end-of-weekend option if you are already in Newport. Bring an extra layer for the end of the night, check arrival details before travelling and expect the finale to do the emotional heavy lifting.
