The Broadway Cinema are also celebrating the return of Ashes cricket to Nottingham, by presenting a special screening of Trent Bridge on Film, an archival look back at our iconic ground on the night before the Test, July 9 at 6pm.

The film explores the history and legend of Trent Bridge for a fifty year period, from the 1930s to the 1980s. Clips include visits from Garfield Sobers and the West Indies, as well as the 1964 Ashes match against Australia. You can also expect to see famous Nottinghamshire faces, from Harold Larwood to Derek Randall.

Trent Bridge On Film will be presented by curator Phillip Leach from the Media Archive For Central England.

Tickets can be bought via the Broadway Cinema’s box office on 0115 952 6611 or online.
