For the first time, a huge outdoor cinema experience is heading to one of Liverpool’s most-loved spaces – the National Trust’s Speke Hall – and there are four fantastic films not to be missed.
Taking place across four days in September, the screened films include everything from the classic 80s love story of Dirty Dancing (12A) on Sunday 15 September, to the Oscar-winning Bohemian Rhapsody (12A) on Thursday 12 September that will have everyone stomping their feet and clapping their hands.
For action film fans, see Tom Cruise’s daring young pilot take to the skies in Top Gun (12A) on Friday 13 September, while a trip to the future sees a young John Connor battling it out in Terminator 2: Judgment Day (15) on Saturday 14 September.
Outdoor cinema has become ever more popular in recent years and now Liverpool is getting the chance to join in the fun, as part of QUAD’s Summer Nights Outdoor Film Festival. The nationwide festival will bring their huge inflatable screen to Speke Hall’s lawn, giving an unrivalled view of the city’s cherished Tudor mansion.
“We’re absolutely delighted to be working with National Trust Speke Hall – a renowned jewel in Merseyside’s heritage. The Summer Nights Film Festival brings outdoor cinema to the very best heritage properties nationwide, and so where better to enjoy four nights of cinema than the glorious gardens of Speke? I’m planning my picnic already!” said Dr Alex Rock, Director, Summer Nights Film Festival.
Film-goers are invited to bring a picnic, dress for the weather and bring their own seating. Each film will start approximately 30 minutes after sunset, with gates opening at 6.30pm. There will be access to toilets, baby-changing facilities and all films will be screened with subtitles so that everyone can truly sit back and relax. Free parking will also be available on-site.
