You can sample blockbusters and burgers this summer as the outdoor film and street food festival returns to Norwich for 2021.
The event will take place at Eaton Park from Thursday August 26 to Sunday August 29 and 10 films will be screened on the bank holiday weekend.
Organizers Pop Up Pictures and Ideal Events kicked off the Norwich Outdoor Film and Food Festival at the Norfolk Showground last August, where they also held drive-in cinema events throughout the year.

Danny Banthorpe, 47, who runs Pop Up Pictures with Andrew Bunn, said: “It was nice to come out last year and keep the brand alive and it’s our business to entertain.
“We have been touring the Norwich Parks over the years and thought Eaton Park had a good catchment area and we have other festivals in Colchester, Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and Oulton Broad.
“Even if we don’t have to, we’ll still be lining up safely, seats out of the way, and hand sanitizer because people will always appreciate it.”
