The Luna Cinema returns to Hampton Court Palace this August with a selection of this year's award-winning Hollywood blockbusters and the very best feel-good classic movies.

The original Tudor Hampton Court Palace dates back to the 16th century and has become the setting for many nationally important events. With the Grade I listed building steeped in history, it poses as the perfect backdrop for a cinematic experience this summer.

The summer programme begins with the classic rags-to-riches story Pretty Woman on the 11th August.

Edward, a rich entrepreneur, hires Vivian, a prostitute, to accompany him on a few social events. Trouble ensues when he falls in love with her and they work to bridge the gap between their worlds.

Steven Spielberg's award-winning new take on the classic musical West Side Story follows on the 12th August, exploring forbidden love and the rivalry between the Jets and the Sharks, two teenage street gangs of different ethnic backgrounds.

Audiences are treated to a trip down memory lane on the 13th. Enjoy your favourite songs under the stars in the cult-classic Grease!

August 14th concludes Hampton Court's cinema experience with another time wrap to the 70's in the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

A flat tyre leaves Brad and Janet stranded on a stormy night. They experience strange incidents when they seek shelter in a nearby castle belonging to Frank-N-Furter, an eccentric transvestite.

All screenings will begin at 8.30pm but audiences will be welcomed from 7pm to secure their spots.

Food stalls will be available as well as a full bar and this year's Luna experience also includes brand new seating options including date night deckchairs for two.

Capacities are limited and tickets must be booked in advance so audiences are encouraged to book early.
