The sound of pre-historic dinosaurs boomed out over Trowbridge town park on Sunday, July 28 as outdoor cinema-goers watched a screening of the Jurassic Park movie.
Steven Spielberg’s 1993 sci-fi adventure film starring Richard Attenborough, Jeff Goldblum, Laura Dern and Sam Neill was one of three Hollywood blockbusters screened at a pop-up outdoor cinema.
Other popular films screened during the afternoon event included children’s Disney musical favourite Frozen from 2013, and the 2017 musical The Greatest Showman starring Hugh Jackman as P T Barnum, Zac Efron, Zendaya, Michelle Williams and Rebecca Ferguson.
But plans for a music and food ‘feastival’ on the Saturday were cancelled some weeks ago because of competition from Trowbridge Town Council's Midsummer Festival event in June.
Event organiser Rafika Boutarfas said: “The food Feastival was cancelled a while ago as we couldn’t compete with the town council hosting a food festival a month before our scheduled date.
“The council do not need a return on an event where as I do as a small business.
“The outdoor cinema took place on Sunday and the event was successful. We had approximately 500 people throughout the day who watched the movies.”
