Rushcliffe Borough Council’s Deputy Leader Cllr Abby Brennan said: “Our free Sunday Cinema event is back next month, and we look forward to welcoming families and individuals to enjoy a fun day out in the heart of West Bridgford!
“There will be two family favourite films on the big screen where you can enjoy watching Disney's Elemental and Guardians of the Galaxy outdoors in a fantastic outdoor cinema setting.
“Building on last year's success, you can expect even more family-fun activities such as building your own spaceship, alien sock puppets and an animation space station!
“Come along, bring your picnic blankets and popcorn and enjoy a trip to the movies and more!”
Screenings will still go ahead in inclement weather, so visitors are advised to dress for the great British summer!
Parents or guardians accompanying children to the events are asked to adhere to the film’s certification.

Guardians of the Galaxy is rated 12A, meaning the film contains material which may not be generally suitable for children aged under 12.
Children younger than 12 can see a 12A if they are accompanied by an adult and, in such circumstances, responsibility for allowing a child under 12 to view lies with the accompanying adult.
