A big screen is to be installed in the city centre once again in readiness for a programme of free open-air screenings which will begin with sport and follow up with a mix of top blockbusters and family films running throughout the school holidays.
NE1's popular Screen on the Green will be back in Newcastle by Monday, in its usual place in Old Eldon Square, for the start of three weeks of sporting action, with Wimbledon - which begins that day - being the first to get under way. Tennis fans will be able to chill out on deckchairs placed in front of the screen or bag one of the other colourful seats which will be laid out alongside picnic tables.
Following the tournament, more big screen sport to come will include the women’s World Cup Football final at 11am on August 20 which is expected to prove as popular as the previous screening of the Women’s European Championships which saw England triumph. And, in between, the film programme will get under way on July 24.
