Free movies to be screened in parks monthly through October
Residents and visitors can watch family films at parks and on beaches around the island this summer — completely free.
The Department of Parks will offer this through its monthly Movies in the Park initiative, which will run from July until October.
A government spokesman said: “The series aims to unite the community, create lasting memories.”
Lieutenant-Colonel David Burch, the Minister of Public Works, said the initiative highlights the Government’s commitment to “fostering a vibrant and inclusive community by offering free entertainment options for everyone”.
