Bamburgh Castle's outdoor cinema to return this summer after Indiana Jones film release

Bamburgh Castle is bringing back its popular outdoor cinema nights again this summer, though it will appear on the big screen itself before that.

One of Northumberland's most instantly recognisable landmarks, the iconic castle it will hit the big screen from June 28 when it appears in the fifth instalment of the Indiana Jones series, the Dial of Destiny. Despite its appearance in the Hollywood blockbuster, the four sunset screenings later in the summer have a little more of a musical theme.

Dirty Dancing, Mamma Mia, the Greatest Showman and Grease are all on the programme between August 11 and August 27. Alongside the films, there'll be a pop up fish and chip shop, hot and cold snacks, while cinema-goers are welcome to bring picnics.

Karen Larkin, Bamburgh Castle visitor services manager, said: "Bamburgh Castle outdoor film nights are a highlight of the summer – and if you haven’t experienced them before now is your chance! There’s something unbelievably magical about being inside the Castle’s walls at dusk.

"As easy as it is to stick on a Netflix film, there’s nothing quite like watching and singing along to your favourite film on the big screen. And being here with your family and friends in our amazing setting high above one of the best beaches in the country is an experience that’s second to none.

"You can sit in the very spot which will feature in the new Indiana Jones film and be part of movie history yourself!"

Cinema tickets are priced at £19.95 per person. For more information, visit the Bamburgh Castle website.
