Our summer cinema is back for another summer here at Lakeside Village, so grab yourself some popcorn, a drink and see what films we have lined up for you and the family.
What’s more, is that the event will be completely FREE to access, with a choice of mouth-watering sweet treats available to purchase. The perfect excuse to head to either Cadbury or The Sweet Emporium beforehand.
