A FREE outdoor cinema and play area is set to launch at the NEC.
Opening this weekend, NEC Lakeside will offer a range of free activities including an outdoor cinema with regular screenings, a children’s play area, activity trail and picnic seating alongside a selection of food and drink vendors.
Located at the heart of the NEC Campus, the space has been created to give families somewhere to relax and spend time together throughout the day, whether visiting one of the venue’s attractions or simply looking for a free day out during the school holidays until the end of August.
Deputy chief executive of the NEC, Sarah Harvey, said: “This summer represents an exciting step in how we’re continuing to evolve the NEC experience.
“We’re bringing together an incredible range of attractions for families and, as part of our NEC Built for your Summer programme, creating even more reasons to visit across the season.
“With the addition of NEC Lakeside, we’re also able to offer a free space where people can spend time together and make the most of their visit.”
NEC Lakeside will be closed between May 27 and June 2 during the UK Games Expo.
