"The surroundings are beautiful, it’s really safe for the kids, and they love watching a film, having hot dogs, then camping out overnight. It’s safe, it’s really good fun, and it’s become a regular fixture in the family calendar.”

Mike Lynskey from Pop-up Cinema Yorkshire said: Yorkshire is amazing, and it’s great to be able to contribute to what the county has to offer to people who live here and people who visit during the summer.

“We’re really excited about what’s on offer this year. We always aim to get a really good variety of films, so that there’s something for everyone.”
