Those on luxury coach tours to Cambridge today (August 27th) may notice that the town is hosting a special event.

The Cambridge Film Festival is celebrating its 30th anniversary with outdoor screenings of classic movies.

Taking place at Grantchester Meadows over the next three days, the gates open from 18:00 BST.

This evening's feature will be the 12A-rated The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which stars Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner.

Saturday will see the animated children's favourite Up on the big screen, while Sunday's main movie will be the 1927 classic Metropolis, starring Alfred Abel, Gustav Frohlich and Rudolf Klein-Rogge.

Tickets will cost £12, £10 and £9, with the feature presentations beginning at dusk - approximately 20:15.

The Cambridge Film Festival was first established in 1977 and has featured a number of works by filmmakers who have gone on to great things, such as Larceny by Batman director Christopher Nolan.
