Jurassic Park, Westside Story, and Hook are just some of the blockbuster flicks on show inside one of the UK’s most distinctive cinemas next month.
After what was the roaring success of the recent ‘Spring Cave Cinema’ experiences at Peak Cavern in the picturesque Derbyshire countryside, experimental North West events production company The Village Screen is set to return for a one-off Spielberg Spectacular weekend next month, and a selection of his cult-classics and fan-favourites are all on the lineup.
In what is a contender for one of the most unique movie-watching experiences in the country, audience members will be immersed inside an incredible natural environment, while watching some of Spielberg’s smash hits projected onto a large 21ft screen with incredible sound and beautiful lighting.
The Village Screen’s previous events inside Peak Cavern have already been described as “truly amazing experiences” with a “phenomenal atmosphere”.

Film fans can expect live music in the car park area of the cave pre-show, street food from some of the region’s finest traders, pop-up bars, drinks and snacks delivered right to their seats during each film, and there’s even the option to hire blankets and cushions, and add on Snuggle Packages too – which also includes hot water bottles, a selection of sweets and chocolate to share, and more.

Guests will also be given the chance to write messages that will be displayed on the cinema screen before each film screening, and event organisers also promise there’ll be a few “additional surprises” that make these events even more memorable too.
Films on the jam-packed lineup include Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom, Jurassic Park, Hook, and last year’s Oscar-winning Westside Story.

Spooktacular Halloween trail to return to National Trust site Quarry Bank
Daisy Jackson
A Halloween trail is set to return to Quarry Bank Mill this autumn for one of the region’s most hauntingly beautiful seasonal events.
The National Trust site is a former working mill and one of the country’s finest industrial buildings – but as night falls and the shadows lengthen, a haunting will begin…
This year’s Halloween at Quarry Bank will again feature spooky light installations, a mesmerising laser garden, and a thrilling fire show, as well as live performances and seasonal food and drink.
Returning for a second year, Halloween at Quarry Bank will be an unforgettable experience for all ages.
Fog will swirl through the paths around the grounds, as glowing demon eyes watch over passers-by and giant skeletons loom over twisted trees.
If you’re brave enough, the trail then heads inside the mill itself, where creaking and clanking sounds of its industrial past hint at something a little more haunted.

As you wander the trail, you’ll pass installations like glowing fire spheres and catacombs echoing with whispers from the past, plus plenty more surprises waiting in the shadows.
Then you can refuel with ‘bewitched burgers and freaky fries’, plus hot toddys and decadent hot chocolates.
You can even toast a marshmallow over an open fire.
Halloween at Quarry Bank is designed for families, couples, and groups of friends alike, and attracts visitors from all over Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Merseyside and Lancashire.
Entry to the trail is on a timed slot system – tickets are on sale now HERE.
Inside the brand-new rental houses at Bolton’s landmark £35m development, Deansgate Gardens
Daisy Jackson
The first residents are in, and the launch of Deansgate Gardens – a landmark £35m development in Bolton town centre – is live.
This impressive new development has brought 167 high-quality rental homes to Bolton, creating a residential neighbourhood that features rooftop terraces, gardens, and stunning communal spaces.
The homes on Deansgate, Bolton have been built specifically for renters, with spacious layouts in an ideal location just a two-minute walk from Bolton Town Hall and a short commute to Manchester.
And, unusually for new rental developments, it’s not all about apartments here (though there are beautiful one- and two-bedroom apartments with rooftop gardens available).
It’s also somewhere you can rent two-bedroom townhouses, and have your very own yard.
Every home is built with energy efficiency in mind, with heat pumps and enhanced insulation, plus rooftop solar panels on selected homes, keeping those pesky bills down.
This pet-friendly development comes from developer Placefirst, and is a key moment in the wider £1bn regeneration masterplan for Bolton.

Deansgate Gardens is located just opposite the former Beales department store, connected by the train station, bus interchange, and town centre within walking distance.
These stylish new homes are built around a central square and communal courtyards. The result? Somewhere residents can relax, socialise, and connect.
There’s even a dedicated Resident Service Manager and 24/7 maintenance support for peace of mind.
And just a short walk away you’ll find parks like Queen’s Park, plus beautiful routes along the River Croal.
