and live on Freeview channel 276
The Village Screen has been popping up to show movies at unusual places, such as the outdoor pool in Hathersage, Ecclesall Woods and Castleton's Peak Cavern, since 2015.
Over the past five years the Sheffield-based venture has gained momentum, with screenings being held across the country for more than 35,000 people.

Hide AdNow organisers have come up with a socially-distanced way of showing movies by launching the Drive Thru Cinema – and the first event in Sheffield took place at the Kenwood Hall Hotel in Nether Edge in July.
The Village Screen is bringing the Drive Thru back to the grounds of Kenwood Hall from August 26 to 29, as it says the initial sold-out run was a ‘huge success'.
This time audiences can watch Jurassic Park, Pulp Fiction, Grease, Toy Story and late-night showings of Get Out and Psycho.
"These events received incredible reviews from customers attending in July, with audiences loving the cinema experience, as well as the street food, friendly staff and DJ entertainment, all while feeling extra safe,” said the events company.

Each vehicle is given its own speaker system and films are projected on to a 24ft inflatable screen. Food and drink is delivered to cars – Percy & Lily’s will be serving hotdogs and loaded nachos as well as a Middle Eastern menu, while vegan dessert specialist Elly Joy will be offering chocolate brownies, ‘doughnots’ and Froconut ice cream.
Tickets cost £38 per car plus booking fee. Visit https://www.thevillagescreen.com/whats-on for details.
