It is the third year running that Peterborough Positive has hosted a free big screen movie experience in Cathedral Square.

“There's something really special about seeing Cathedral Square come alive with families,” said Chief Operating Officer Pep Cipriano. “It's one of my favourite events of the year and a wonderful reminder of the important role our city centre plays in bringing people together.”

Pep noted that reinforcing community and family bonds wasn’t the only benefit to be had:

“As well as bringing families together, events like this help drive footfall into the city centre, giving people the opportunity to discover and support local businesses.”

The 3pm screening is free to attend, with seating available on a first-come, first-served basis. Visitors are encouraged to arrive early or bring their own chairs.

Free face painting will also be on hand, plus there will be complimentary goody bags for the first 100 children.
