The silver screen once again brings a sparkle to Solitude Park with the return of the ever popular free outdoor cinema with a screening of the smash hit movie Pitch Perfect on Friday 19th September at 8pm. The 2012 musical comedy tells the tale of Beca, the new girl at school who is finding it hard to fit in. However things start to change when she joins ‘The Barden Bellas’, an all-girls a cappella singing group, made up of a mix of mean girls, sweet girls and weird girls whose only thing in common is how good they sing together. To add to the cinema experience local food outlet Captain Cooks will be offering a host of hot tasty treats and other refreshments. Don’t forget to bring along a comfy cushion too!
