The chairman of the Community Resources Committee, councillor Ian Buckland, said: “This year we are excited to present two films over two nights. It is a free event and there is always a great atmosphere so we hope to see you all there.”
Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is a 12a certificate film in the UK and is suitable for children under 12 with parental guidance. It may contain some scenes or language unsuitable for younger children.
This event is weather dependent, the council added, but according to the Met Office the weather will be cloudy but dry with temperatures of 20 degrees.
