Moons, Movies & Memory Making

Moons, Movies & Memory Making

Party like it’s 1969 in the shadow of the giant telescope at Jodrell Bank that captured the first pictures of the Lunar Landings, and watch a blockbuster movie beneath the stars in Chester’s Roman Gardens. Explore the fusion of cosmic sound and vision at Luke Jerram’s ‘Museum of the Moon’ in Warrington, and see a rainbow of illuminations light up a dark winter’s night in Crewe. These are just some of this year’s experiences that promise to be out of this world.

  3. Luna Cinema at Tatton Park

    Knutsford

    Is there anywhere finer to watch a blockbuster movie than in the glorious grounds of Tatton Park?

    Add Luna Cinema at Tatton Park to your Itinerary

    Every August, this historic estate – featuring a medieval hall and neoclassical mansion set amid landscaped grounds, gardens, and a deer park – plays host to a three-night festival of film. On the bill are recent smash hits, all shown on a giant screen surrounded by woodland near Tatton’s old stableyard. Order pre-show drinks from the Luna Bar, serving everything from beer to bubbles, and gourmet snacks such as eco-friendly boxes of Comté, Bath Blue and Perl Wen from The Cheese Geek. Premium tickets include fast-track queues, a perfectly positioned director’s chair, and a complimentary drink. Movies start just as dusk descends over Tatton’s treetops, with the stars on screen mirrored by those – weather allowing – in the skies above.
