1st of the King's Gardens Outdoor Cinema events hailed a success
WATCHING films in the open air in the UK is gaining popularity and now Southport is joining in. On Wednesday, 15 April 2015, the first film showing of free film season of screenings on an inflatable big screen witching King's Gardens, next to the Southport Marine Lake. The event was well attended considering the weather was not all that warm, with the film 'Night at the Museum' being projected to a very mixed aged audience. The atmosphere was very good and over the 1hour 50minet film, those attending could go over to a food and drink tent and buy hot treats as well as popcorn thanks to Divine Food and Sandwich Bar. A donation was also taken towards the Friends of Kings Gardens, which will go towards the upkeep of the gardens. The next outdoor cinema in King's Gardens will be on 1 May 2015, and the film will be the Lion King! Please note that it is weather dependent and also the film can't start until it is dark. Although the screening is free, there is a suggested donation of £2/person which will help to run future events and the up keep of the area.
