Only four days until Midsummer Magic

The countdown has begun for Sure's Midsummer Magic big movie extravaganza.

200 lucky islanders successfully applied for tickets to Guernsey’s first ever drive-in, and they are now available for collection from the Sure reception desk in Upland Road.

Tickets which are not collected by 5.00pm on Thursday (17 July) will be redistributed to other islanders who applied for tickets online.

Over the last three years the Sure big screen has attracted thousands of beachgoers and once again the public have chosen the films they most want to see. Sure’s head of PR, Steve Smith said that the public have again chosen a corking line-up.

A total of 13 blockbusters will be screened over the five days of Midsummer Magic, which this year gets underway with Guernsey’s first ever drive-in movie, Grease, at Salerie Corner on Saturday 19 July.

The big screen then moves to the beach at Cobo, where Sure will be showing three films a day from Sunday 20 July to Wednesday 23 July. The entertainment will begin with family matinees at 2pm and 5pm, followed by some all action excitement each evening from 7.30pm.

Children’s favourite Bee Movie heads an all star cast of family films in this year’s line-up, which also includes other great family favourites.

And the final curtain will come down on Wednesday evening with the showing of superhero action adventure Fantastic Four: The Rise of Silver Surfer.

Mr Smith said that the films in this year’s line-up will appeal to the full spectrum from adults to toddlers.

“It promises to be another fun-packed week of entertainment for the whole family and something for absolutely everyone.”
