The Outdoor Cinema programme will return to Southport’s King’s Gardens next month with open-air screenings of three Hollywood blockbusters.

The new season will kick off with a showing of ‘Star Wars – The Force Awakens’ on 10 August, followed by ‘Mamma Mia!’ two weeks later and ‘Jungle Book’ on 2 September.

Organised by Sefton Council, the events will be free to attend with a suggested donation of £2 to the Friends of King’s Gardens, which will be used to fund future screenings.

A statement from the local authority reads: “Following a hugely successful opening last summer, Sefton Council is set to bring another three Hollywood blockbusters to King’s Gardens over the next few months. The line-up boasts something for everyone, from family evenings out to a night for the grown-ups, and is set to be a hugely popular event.”

Attendees are invited to bring their own refreshments but are asked to take any rubbish home with them afterwards.

Full Listings for the season including start times can be found below:

Wednesday, 10 August (8.30pm): ‘Star Wars – The Force Awakens’
Wednesday, 24 August (8.15pm): ‘Mamma Mia!’
Saturday, 2 September (8pm): ‘Jungle Book’
