Open air cinema a success

A first outdoor cinema at Ayscoughfee Gardens has been hailed a success with a vow to bring it back.

Spalding Round Table put on the event for the charity’s selected by South Holland District Council chair Andrew Woolf.
It was staged with proceeds from the Spalding Festival the group puts on.
A spokesman for the Round Table said: “This was our first time that we have hosted the outdoor cinema and couldn’t think of a more fantastic location that Ayscoughfee Gardens.
“We had over 600 people attend which meant that all three films were a sell out, plans are already afoot to hold this more regularly with an increased number of tickets available.
“We worked with Coun Andrew Woolf who also could see the benefit the event could bring to the town and to ensure that charities still benefited, all of the money from the ticket sales and any donations given on the showings will all be donated to his chosen charities which are Blood Cancer UK and Mencap. We both want to thank everybody that came to watch the watch the films and the team of volunteers that helped put on the event.”
