Everybody Get FOOTLOOSE! Blue Tin Sunset Cinema 2026. Friday 7th AUGUST.

Dear All, and here we are again readying ourselves (and hoping) for spectacular sunsets and that ethereal period of pre-show time relaxing in the field, catching up with friends, chatting, sipping and ogling other peoples picnics. With an ever increasing number of suggestions over what to screen as (in our humble opinion) we have covered so many of the big hitters, we are delighted to announce that we this year is going old school, we're going Kevin Bacon, we're going dancing... we are going FOOTLOOSE! Appalled to discover that rock music and dancing are illegal—a ban championed by the town’s conservative Reverend Moore—Ren rallies his classmates to overturn the law. This movie remains a timeless classic, great soundtrack, appropriate country vibes for our Blue Tin venue and yes you're allowed to get up and dance!.

Blue Tin Jumbo Chilli Dogs will be available from our BBQ or BYO for picnicking of dreams.

Loaded fries food truck from Swaadish.

Bar of course, plus all the cinema snacks and we can only hope the weather plays ball - fingers crossed, sun dances please!
