“It was a little bit touch and go as to whether or not any events could go ahead, so it’s lovely to be able to put on amazing events like these for people to enjoy after such a rollercoaster time.

“The feedback we received after last year’s events was phenomenal – people still talk about them now, so we are all looking forward to more blockbuster cinema nights at Bamburgh Castle once again.”

Social distancing will be implemented at every cinema night with strictly limited ticket numbers, therefore early booking is essential.
