As summer has started to appear (finally!), the open-air cinemas are coming...

All around Herts, Beds and Bucks, these put-up cinemas show an extensive collection of films to suit all tastes. Every genre, all age ranges and from timeless classics to present-day pictures.

This week, the Sundown Cinema showed Mamma Mia! at Ickworth House. The atmosphere of these events fills everyone with a feeling of togetherness; laughing together, crying together, it’s truly beautiful.

Many outdoor-cinema-goers come bearing blankets, but some come fully equipped, armed with deckchairs and junk-food galore! I once even witnessed a family of four carry a sofa onto the field of Hitchin Priory.. Now that’s dedication!

These nights are such a simple yet amazing idea suited to everyone; from couples to families and friends, and with complimentary popcorn handed out on arrival, there’s no reason to miss it!

Find the closest venue to you and book your tickets for your favourite flick today at www.sundowncinema.co.uk/ or visit their Facebook page.

I’m attending my favourite, Dirty Dancing, showing at Hitchin Lavender Fields on Aug 19th, the smell of lavender is an added bonus!
