Free outdoor cinema experience hailed ‘huge success’ after action-packed weekend
Thousands of residents and visitors attended the free outdoor cinema experience brought to Rhyl Events Arena by Denbighshire Leisure Ltd (DLL) and Rhyl Town Council last weekend.
Five iconic films were shown across the weekend, including Dirty Dancing, The Greatest Showman, Mamma Mia, Moana 2 and cult-classic Grease, with nearly 5,000 free tickets been given to the community, hosted by Denbighshire Leisure Ltd (DLL) in collaboration with Rhyl Town Council.
Film-fans turned up in their thousands with camping chairs, blankets and an amazing energy with sing-alongs and a holiday ‘feel good’ vibes was felt throughout the whole weekend. With stilt-walkers, dancers, selfie booth, plus balloon artist and face painter, it was fun for the whole family.
Jamie Groves, Managing Director of DLL said: “We’ve had such an amazing weekend bringing the free outdoor cinema experience to Rhyl – something we haven’t seen before in our town. We promised to bring a Summer to remember to Denbighshire, and this is just one of the free events we have put on this Summer for the local community!”
Mayor, Councillor Alexander Walker said: “From Dirty Dancing’s immortal line ‘nobody puts baby in the corner’ to the anthemic ‘Grease is the word,’ the events arena was the place to watch and enjoy some true classic cinema moments. Rhyl Town Council was delighted to partner with DLL to stage this bank holiday film-fest, featuring some family favourites and films for all ages. The outdoor cinema was the perfect way to round off the summer.”
