LULWORTH Castle will be hosting a trio of outdoor movie screenings this summer.

Over three days in August Luna Cinema will be showing Bohemian Rhapsody, Star Wars: A New Hope, and The Greatest Showman Sing-A-Long.

The Dorset castle is one 50 locations, including many stately homes and historic sites, that will be screening more than 175 films this year.

George Wood, founder of Luna Cinema, said: "There could hardly be a more anticipated summer than this 2021 post-lockdown season – every outing we arrange is set to feel special and unique after so long away from the people and activities we love.

"Cinema has provided the magic of escape through the decades, and we know that The Luna Cinema can bring joy and respite to the lives of movie-goers across the country this summer, more than ever before."

The Luna Bar with Moretti will be present at all screenings serving a selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, as well as the Italian beer itself. There will also be hot food at all screenings.

Audiences are welcome to dig out their hampers and pack a picnic (though the bringing of alcohol to the events is restricted).

Food and drink at Luna’s screenings will be available to order using a click and collect service.

George said: "After so many months spent watching films at home, we are delighted to be inviting the country to return to the big screen, with our brand of socially spacious, open air cinema experiences.

"We are promising our guests an outing worthy of the wait, and we are counting down the days to welcoming Britain back to the movies."

Tickets, starting at £15.50, are now on general release.

Bohemian Rhapsody will be screened on August 10, Star Wars on August 11 and The Greatest Showman on August 12.
