AN open air cinema is coming to Taunton this July. Adventure Cinema is bringing Bohemian Rapsody and The Greatest Showman Sing-a-long to Taunton Racecourse on July 24 and 25. The news comes following the Government announcement last night (February 22) that outdoor cinemas can re-open from May 17. Last year, Adventure Cinema brought the UK s biggest ever drive-in cinema tour to Somerset. Ben Lovell, co-director of Adventure Cinema, said they can t wait to travel the country with their open air cinema. We had great fun putting on the UK’s biggest ever drive-in cinema tour last summer, and now we can’t wait to travel all over the country once again, this time with our open-air cinema season, he said.
The drive-through mobile testing unit will be at Westlands in Yeovil. The dates/times of opening will be given when a test is booked. Councillor Clare Paul, cabinet member for Health and Wellbeing at Somerset County Council (SCC), said: “We’ve been working hard to get more testing sites into Somerset. The Mobile Testing Units are important assets in the County’s bid to reduce the spread of coronavirus.” People must only arrive by car to the site and only with members from the same household. Trudi Grant, Somerset s director of public health, said it is now more important than ever to work together.
