Dudley Zoo to host outdoor cinema events in castle grounds
Dudley Castle is set to be the dramatic backdrop to three blockbuster films this summer with the return of outdoor cinema nights.
Dudley Zoo and Castle has teamed up with Derby-based QUAD to screen The Greatest Showman on August 5, followed by Jurassic Park on August 6 and concluding with The Rocky Horror Picture Show on August 7.
Andrea Hales, DZC marketing manager, said: “Our open-air cinema events have proved really popular in previous years and we’re delighted to be able to provide more great evenings of outdoor entertainment in the grounds of the 11th century castle this summer.
“We do urge those wanting tickets to book them quickly as from past experience these events sell out quickly and due to covid restrictions there will be a reduced capacity to normal.”
Tickets cost £17.50 each and are available now online at dudleyzoo.org.uk or by calling the zoo office on 01384 215313.
Doors open each evening at 7pm, with the film beginning at 9.30pm.
Filmgoers are advised the events will go ahead whatever the weather.
There will also be hot food and a licensed bar available on site, but attendees are welcome to bring their own picnic, chairs and blankets.
