An open-air cinema featuring two huge blockbusters is being held at Coombe Abbey Country Park this summer.

The Greatest Showman (PG) and Bohemian Rhapsody (12A) are both being screened on Saturday, June 15.

The family-friendly circus musical is from 2.30pm to 4.15pm while the Queen biopic is from 7.30pm to 9.45pm.

Tickets for both screenings cost between £10 and £14 each.

The Greatest Showman is one of the highest grossing live-action musicals of all time after capturing the hearts of millions.

Its soundtrack, which features show-stopping tracks including This Is Me, Rewrite The Stars, Never Enough and more has broken records, topped the charts across the globe and has already spawned The Greatest Showman: Reimagined featuring covers by top musicians.

Bohemian Rhapsody chronicles the life and times of singer Freddie Mercury and British rock band Queen.

It became the sixth highest grossing film of 2018 and set box office records in the biopic and drama genres.

It has also scooped numerous awards including the Best Actor Oscar for Rami Malek who portrayed Freddie Mercury, as well as Golden Globes and BAFTAs.
