A Saints spokesman said: "Cinema-goers are encouraged to bring their own blankets or camping chairs with them as they watch the films from the hallowed Gardens turf, while Northampton Saints’ on-site bars and food concessions stands will be open for refreshments."

‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, which will be shown on Thursday, June 20, is a foot-stomping celebration of rock band Queen, their music and the band’s extraordinary lead singer, Freddie Mercury. Starring Rami Malek, the film has been nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Actor. Malek scooped the best actor Oscar for the role.

The following day the screen will be set for Grammy-nominated ‘The Greatest Showman’, the smash-hit musical starring Hugh Jackman, which celebrates the birth of showbusiness and tells the story of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a spectacle that became a worldwide sensation.

Tickets can only be purchased via the Adventure Cinema website, with prices starting from £14.50*. There is also a family ticket (2x adults, 2x under-16s) available for 'The Greatest Showman' for £48.00*.
