Chantel Summerfield, operations manager, said: "Our outdoor cinema screenings were extremely popular last year, so it’s brilliant to be able to run the day again.

“The Carriage Circle is a wonderful, relaxed setting, making it a great event for all of the family.”

Disney’s smash-hit Encanto will be shown at 10.30am and at 2.30pm Matilda The Musical will be screened.

At 7pm, Elvis starring Tom Hanks and Austin Butler will be shown.

Chantel Summerfield said: "We’ve chosen films that we know are popular and all music that will bring smiles to the audience.

“It’s a chance for people to catch them on the big screen, either for the first time or to experience it again.”

Tickets are £12 for adults and £8 for children and NUS holders per film.
