Joshua Holden, of Wolf Entertainments, is in talks with Preston City Council about setting up the Preston Outdoor Cinema.

He said: “It’s still early in development and planning.

“We are looking to place this cinema in a truly beautiful location within Avenham Park.

Josh and team have posted the event onto Facebook and more than 3,000 people have ticked that they are interested in attending.

Josh said: “At the moment it would be a pilot event, just to see how it could work and whether it is worth the heavy costings.”

The outdoor cinema would run from Friday 5 April to Sunday 7 April.
