Film fans can see Bugsy Malone for free at an open air film screening event this weekend.

The evening, held at Diamond Jubilee Gardens, is part of a programme of events and activities on Twickenham Riverside this summer.

Real enthusiasts of the 1976 film who come in Bugsy Malone costume will even get free popcorn.

Councillor Pamela Fleming, Richmond Council cabinet member for communities, business and culture, said: “There really has been a huge programme of events around the borough for all the family and this open air screening will be a particular highlight.

“Hopefully the rain will hold off and many movie goers and residents will come armed with their rugs, blankets and picnics to enjoy the film and sing along to a 70s classic.”

The council hosts the event in partnership with the RFU, the Twickenham Riverside Trust and Nomad cinema.

The riverside has so far hosted musical performances, animal activities and poetry and literature events.

Bugsy Malone; Diamond Jubilee Gardens, on Saturday, August 17, doors open at 6pm and the movie starts at 8.30pm. For more information, visit richmond.gov.uk/jubilee_gardens_events.
