Film lovers across Gedling borough will be able to enjoy a series of great movies under the stars in a Mapperley park this summer.
Locals are being invited to gather their blankets and head to Haywood Road Green, the old Bowling Green Space on Haywood Road, at Sunset – perched high up on Mapperley Top with clear views over the Trent Valley to the East.
Back by popular demand, following a successful season on the site last year, screenings will take place each month over the summer, when up to 200 people are expected to head outdoors for an evening of classic films under the stars.
Sunset Cinema Club – who organise Pop-Up outdoor screens in creative, hidden and under-used outdoor spaces – will screen 1996 hit Romeo + Juliet on Friday July 6, and Oscar-winning La La Land will be shown on Saturday, July, 7
This is the second year that the site has been chosen as a venue for a pop-up outdoor cinema by Sunset Cinema Club.
And follows a successful campaign by local residents which secured the future of the old bowling green site, which lies next to Haywood Road Community Centre, now as a permanent park space.
Louise Darby, founder of Sunset Cinema Club said: “We are delighted to be working on Haywood Road again. After a wonderful welcome last year, we couldn’t resist coming back and with its fantastic position, we hope to provide great local outdoor film experiences for many years to come.”
Film goers are invited to bring a picnic to settle in, and can expect a licensed pop-up bar (with profits helping to maintain the Community Centre) too.
Tickets, which must be bought in advance, cost £8–£11 and are still available here: www.sunsetcinemaclub.co.uk
