Wilmslow is set to enjoy a fantastic weekend of free entertainment in the Carrs organised by Wilmslow Town Council.
The Cinema on the Carrs is back for its second year, this time showing 'Grease', one of the most successful movie musicals of all time.
Last year's event saw some 1000 people enjoying 'Mamma Mia' and organisers expect this year's to be just as much fun. There will be a movie-themed food court and a full bar available on the night.
People are encouraged to bring their friends and enjoy some good old-fashioned entertainment. Take along your own seating – blankets and deckchairs are welcome, but please no gazebos or dogs; you could even bring along a picnic.
Gates open at 6pm on Saturday, 18th June, with the main feature being shown from 7.45pm. Get there early and secure your pitch.
The event takes place near the Hawthorn Lane entrance to the Carrs and within easy walking distance from town centre car parks that are free after 6pm.
John Mills, a director of the Wilmslow Business Group, who has helped the Wilmslow Town Council team in organising the event said "We're really delighted that the Cinema on the Carrs is back for a second year. Earlier this year we asked the people of Wilmslow to vote for the movie they wanted to see and the overwhelming popular vote amongst Wilmslow residents was for 'Grease", it should be a really great night. We look forward to seeing lots of people enjoying this classic movie in lovely surroundings."
On Sunday, 19th June, the Party on the Carrs is back for its 5th year. With a host of community stalls, bouncy castles, trampolines, sports clubs, street food and live musical entertainment, the event has become one of Wilmslow's favourite fixtures of the summer.
This year's event, for the first time, sees sports clubs offering demos and activities throughout the day. Community Groups will also be offering competitions, tombolas and other activities which you can enjoy whilst listening to some music from various acts in the two musical performance areas.
Chairman of Wilmslow Town Council, Martin Watkins, said "The Town Council is really pleased to deliver this community event for a fifth year and is grateful to all the volunteers who have helped plan the event including John Mills and Georgie Johnson and those on the day including the Rotary Club of Wilmslow Dean.
"The weekend of activities on the Carrs has something for everyone, young and old, and we look forward to seeing many local residents and their families enjoying our wonderful local park."
The event runs from 12pm to 5pm and entry is free to all.
