Due to popular demand, Tamworth Borough Council’s Arts & Events team confirmed they will be releasing more tickets for the animated film, being shown in the castle grounds.

All tickets are priced at only £4. Gates open at 1pm, with the film starting at 2pm.

Later the same day, audiences are invited to experience one of the greatest spectacles ever captured on film – The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Tickets for that are priced at £8. Gates open at 8pm, for a 9pm film start. This film is aged restricted for 15-year-olds and above.

The outdoor cinema programme is part of the Tamworth Castle Summer Fest taking place from July 22 to August 13, and includes three large concerts by world-renowned artists such as Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra , Russell Watson, Jack Savoretti, Melanie C, , Belinda Carlisle, Howard Jones, Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey, Boney M, The Fizz, Toyah, Katrina of The Waves and Pat Sharp.

Councillor Robert Pritchard, Deputy Leader of Tamworth Borough Council, said: “This year Tamworth Borough Council’s programme of outdoor events is even bigger and better than we have ever delivered before.

“We’re going all out with offering a superb choice of films, including a family matinee for all to enjoy; plus, the exciting summer programme thanks to Tamworth’s first Castle Summer Fest - three weeks of back-to-back activities, sports, live music and entertainment, guaranteed to bring families together for the biggest celebration ever in the outdoor events calendar.”
