You can watch cult movie Twin Town on a huge outdoor screen in Swansea this month

It's one of the most beloved cult movies of the '90s. Even better than that it was made right here in Wales.
And now Twin Town is returning to the big screen some 26 years later for a special one-off outdoor showing in Singleton Park in Swansea - the so-called "pretty s***** city" in which the infamous film was set.

Starring Rhys Ifans and his real life brother Llyr, it tells the story of the notorious Lewis twins as they run riot in the local community. Two adolescent tearaways, the plot sees them end up embarking on a tit-for-tat campaign of violence with a local business man after their father suffers an injury at work.

An outrageous, eminently quotable pitch-black comedy, Twin Town also stars a host of familiar faces - from Keith Allen, Di Botcher and Dougray Scott to late greats such as Brian Hibbard, Dorien Thomas and Huw Ceredig. Directed by Kevin Allen and released in 1997 it was initially hailed as being "as filthy as it is funny" and "Wales' answer to Trainspotting."

Still as popular today as it was back then, the film's special outdoor screening will take place at Swansea's Singleton Park on Mumbles Road in Sketty on Friday April 28. The gates will open at 7.15pm and the film will roll shortly after sunset - approximately 8.45pm.

Filmgoers can bring picnics - so expect plenty of shouts of "Hotdogs for tea, boys!" - and there'll also be an onsite bar. Toilets will be provided too.

The film is certified 18 and under 16s must be accompanied by an adult. People are advised to bring their own blankets and camping chairs to ensure they're comfortable.

Standard tickets each cost £15.50 (plus a £1.68 fee and tax) while Premium tickets will set you back £21.50 (plus a £2.33 fee and tax). However, the latter also include a 'luxury deck chair in a prime position' in order to watch the action. To get yours, click here.
