Open-air cinema comes to Rowton Castle this September
This September, film lovers are invited to experience two timeless romantic comedies in the breathtaking grounds of Rowton Castle, as the estate hosts an unforgettable open-air cinema event. On Saturday 6th September, audiences can enjoy afternoon and evening screenings of two much-loved classics - When Harry Met Sally and Notting Hill - against the enchanting backdrop of rolling Shropshire hills, a grand tree-lined avenue, and the vibrant floral displays of the castle’s formal gardens.
With the giant screen set in this idyllic countryside location, guests will enjoy the magic of cinema under the sky. To complete the experience, delicious wood-fired pizzas, cinema snacks, and drinks from a fully stocked bar will be available throughout the day.
