AN open-air cinema operator has lined up Crewe Hall as a venue for a spring event after the government's roadmap announcement.

Adventure Cinema has announced a tour of "socially spacious open-air movies" at some of the UK's most scenic venues, including a visit to south Cheshire.

On Monday Boris Johnson announced that outdoor cinemas can re-open from May 17, and the company has pledged safety measures including wide aisles around the event space, regular cleaning, individual toilet units and hand sanitising stations outside.

Among the movies being screened will be cult films like 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show' and classics like 'Dirty Dancing, 'Grease' and 'The Greatest Showman' as well as modern blockbusters like 'Joker', 'The Dark Knight' and 'Pretty Woman'.

Ben Lovell, of Adventure Cinema, said: "We had great fun putting on the UK's biggest ever drive-in cinema tour last summer, and now we can't wait to travel all over the country once again, this time with our open-air cinema season.

"Just like with the drive-in shows, we've worked very hard to ensure that these events are safe and lots of fun for all the family.

"We've got some amazing films to show in some truly incredible spaces, and we're excited to offer guests two things they may have desperately missed in recent months - the cinema and the great outdoors."

The tour will also be visiting castles in Yorkshire, Wrexham and Powys, National Trust sites and country estates with over 80 locations.

Tickets start from £14.50, and can be bought here.

Ticket holders will be offered a 100% money-back guarantee should anything mean that the events cannot go ahead.
