Film lovers can enjoy the great outdoors at Kew Gardens and Hampton Court Palace this summer.

The Luna Cinema line-up brings to the screen some of the latest blockbusters and award-winners, along with classic films and fan favourites.

On this year's line up at the two picturesque venues are the Grand Budapest Hotel, Back to the Future, Romeo and Juliet and Top Gun.

George Wood, founder of the Luna Cinema, said: "When I produced my first open air cinema screening in 2008 in Dulwich Park, I had no inkling that open air cinema would ever become so popular in Britain.

"People told me I must be bonkers for investing in an outdoor screen given the unreliability of our weather.

"Seven years and thousands of screenings later, any doubts have long since evaporated. The British public have proven that they’re more than willing to brave the elements to enjoy a much-loved film under the stars."

Cinema goers are welcome to bring along picnics and drinks but all events will have hot food for sale and a full bar on site.
