Tickets for that are priced at £8. Gates open at 8pm, for a 9pm film start. This film is aged restricted for 15-year-olds and above.

The outdoor cinema programme is part of the Tamworth Castle Summer Fest taking place from July 22 to August 13, and includes three large concerts by world-renowned artists such as Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra , Russell Watson, Jack Savoretti, Melanie C, , Belinda Carlisle, Howard Jones, Thompson Twins’ Tom Bailey, Boney M, The Fizz, Toyah, Katrina of The Waves and Pat Sharp.
