Set in the gardens of Burghley House, the Burghley Film Festival (running from 24-28 July) boasts a line-up of 20 films across the five days, with the Tudor house and sweeping parkland providing a spectacular backdrop.

And some of this year’s top movies will be music to the ears of fans who can enjoy their own sing-along under the stars, thanks to mega musical hits The Greatest Showman and Bohemian Rhapsody … not forgetting Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again .

But if belting out smash hits from Hugh Jackman, Queen and ABBA isn’t quite your thing, how about a spot of romance with Pride and Prejudice, the brilliantly cynical period comedy The Favourite or the sheer spectacle of Oscar-winning blockbuster Black Panther?

Most Popular

    For younger generations, daytime open air screenings include Incredibles 2, The Jungle Book – and another Oscar-winner, Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse .

    Once again, filmgoers can also enjoy a host of foodie treats alongside top movies and family favourites during the daytime and evening shows, with a range of outlets selling hot and cold food, perfect for a lunch or afternoon picnic and a supper under the stars.
