It’s been half a century since a certain great white shark first terrorised the silver screen, and now Jaws is making a triumphant return – this time at Brighton Beach. To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Steven Spielberg’s 1975 masterpiece, the Middle Brighton Baths will host its first-ever film screening on Thursday, 21 November 2025.
The event promises an unforgettable cinematic experience under the stars, with audiences invited to watch the classic thriller beside the waves. The screening marks the first time in the Baths’ 144-year history that a movie has been shown on site, turning the iconic seaside venue into an open-air theatre.
When it debuted, Jaws changed cinema forever. With its nerve-shredding suspense, groundbreaking score by John Williams, and unforgettable performances by Roy Scheider, Richard Dreyfuss and Robert Shaw, Spielberg’s film not only created the modern blockbuster but also made millions of beachgoers think twice before taking a dip. Its iconic line – “You’re gonna need a bigger boat” – remains etched in pop culture history.
Set against the backdrop of Brighton Beach, this anniversary screening invites audiences to relive every heart-stopping moment, from the haunting opening scene to the explosive finale, as the sound of real waves laps nearby.
Organisers promise an atmospheric night that blends nostalgia, history and a touch of seaside suspense.
Tickets are strictly limited for this one-night-only event. Bookings can be made via TryBooking.
