Work is now under way on installing the giant screen in Newcastle that heralds the return of the annual summer treat Screen on the Green.
First signs of the screen in Old Eldon Square were seen on Thursday as details of its upcoming free programme of films and sports were announced. And it will be fingers crossed that the current good weather will continue as the action gets underway on June 27.
The programme for Screen on the Green, which is part of NE1 Ltd's summer in the city programme, will start just in time for the Women’s European Championship, with international sport - beginning with Wimbledon - leading the way ahead of the film schedule. And with England’s women being second favourite to win the football tournament, which will be staged on home soil, the event is set to attract big audiences.
