A portable cinema showing Halloween-themed films and new releases is coming to a Suffolk town centre. 

The purpose-built 100 seater mobile cinema, in the form of an HGV, will be parked at the Kingfisher Leisure Centre from Tuesday, October 31 to Sunday, November 5. 

The cinema will be screening a selection of new releases like Barbie and A Haunting in Venice, as well as offering Ghostbusters and Haunted Mansion as Halloween specials.

Sudbury Town Council and Babergh District Council hopes that the affordable cinema experience will attract more people into the town centre to enjoy other Halloween events. 

Jan Osbourne, mayor of Sudbury, said: "Sudbury Town Council is very pleased to be working with Babergh District Council and Abbeygate Cinema to bring this unique cinematic experience on wheels to Sudbury.

“Accessibility has been at the forefront of the project and keeping the ticket prices as low as possible has been key”.

Chris Peters, associate manager of The Moving Cinema, said: “We’re delighted to have the opportunity to bring our mobile cinema to Sudbury and give the good people of the town a quality cinema experience they are currently missing.

“Our mobile cinema is fully heated and air-conditioned, has full digital projection and surround sound, and of course is fully accessible. We’re bringing a varied programme of films and there will truly be something for everyone.”

Tickets are available on the Abbeygate Cinema website and cost £5 per adult, £2.50 per child and £4 for concessions and students.
