Edinburgh is set to see the return of a free open air cinema in the heart of the capital this month.
This year, the Square Cinema production will give audiences the chance to catch some of the best new and old releases, including Elvis, Rocket Man, Dirty Dancing and Top Gun – Maverick.
The three-day event, taking place between June 23 and June 25, will offer something for all audiences from much-loved classics including Back to the Future and The Wizard of Oz.

Cult titles like Mean Girls and Local Hero will also appear on screen, alongside family favourites like Encanto, Roald Dahl’s Matilda The Musical, Lyle Lyle Crocodile and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Audiences may bring picnics in with them, but they can also enjoy a range of premium refreshments from a host of special pop-up bars over the weekend.
The best thing is - it's free! No ticket is required, just turn up in good time and join in the fun!
Roddy Smith, Chief Executive of Essential Edinburgh said: “Essential Edinburgh is delighted to bring this fantastic event to St Andrew Square for the 13th year.
"We have a new name, and a new look for 2023, but the same epic outdoor movie experience. Square Cinema is only possible thanks to the superb partnership between Essential Edinburgh, our supporters and the production team at Unique Events.
