People are invited to a special sing-along screening of a Hollywood blockbuster at a Great Yarmouth cinema on Saturday in support of events in a coastal village.

Hopton Residents Events has teamed up with the Arc Cinema to put on an evening of singing and dancing with a screening of the 2017 Hugh Jackman blockbuster The Greatest Showman.

Great Yarmouth Mercury: The Greatest Showman was originally released in 2017 and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song.

Ticket sales will go towards events held in Hopton throughout the year, including their upcoming Easter Egg giveaway, Hopton's Got Talent and the returning Party in the Park on June 15.

Hopton Residents Events began in 2020 to help break the monotony of Covid lockdowns and boost people's wellbeing with online quizzes and a dance on your doorstep challenge.

Organiser Carole Wall said: "We've just grown and grown, and we want to continue putting on exciting events for everyone to enjoy.

"And what better way to start things off this year than with a sing-along in the cinema?

"We are run by the village for the village."
