After making a splash last year, the UK's first and only floating cinema is set to return to Merchant Square this summer.

The Openaire Float-in - the name a riff on drive-ins, which are having another revival this year - will run for four weeks from June 2.

Rather than parking up in cars, guests will take a 45-minute meander along the Regent's canal and through Little Venice in GoBoats, before mooring in Merchant Square. One hundred waterside deckchairs will also be available.

The line-up of films includes Pulp Fiction, Jaws and the Dark Night, as well as Bridget Jones' Diary and Hook, which celebrate their 20th and 30th anniversaries, respectively. Other old favourites include Notting Hill, Pretty Woman and Dirty Dancing and there'll be sing-along nights for Bohemian Rhapsody, Grease, The Greatest Showman and The Sound of Music.

The month-long event, which is sponsored by Häagen-Dazs, will offer ice cream and other food and drink, which can be ordered via app and will be delivered directly to the boats.

Tickets start at £17.50 for deckchair seats, with boats seating eight costing £240. They're on sale now and available here.
