This year’s outdoor cinema event on the Market Square kickstarted with a showcase of talented local filmmakers before the crowd were treated to a series of Pixar classics – Coco, Hoppers and Zootropolis 2 back to back from 1pm. Visitors to the free event also had the opportunity to take part in the creation of an animated film as part of the day’s activities.
Mark Mullen, Chief Operating Officer of Northampton BID, said: “We are thrilled to bring free, high-quality family entertainment to the heart of Northampton.
"Movies on the Square is a wonderful opportunity for people of all ages to come together, enjoy some fantastic films and experience the vibrant atmosphere of our revitalised Market Square.”
It follows on the back of last year’s successful Movies on the Square event headlined by Moana, which was the first time the Market Square had been used in this way.
The event was presented by Northampton Town Centre BID in partnership with Northampton Film Festival and West Northamptonshire Council, who supported with additional funding to provide complimentary children’s activities in the form of face painters and an entertainer.
