The summer holidays are nearly here and the hot weather is back, paving the way for the return of outdoor cinemas in and around Watford.
With a range of options across Hertfordshire there should be something for everyone and the Watford Observer has rounded up five of the best for you and your family to pay a visit in the coming weeks.
